About This Event

• What is silviculture and how might you enhance the ecological and/or economic values of your woodlot?
• What are key considerations in developing a true “forest” management plan?
• How do you strike a proper balance between what may be competing wildlife, recreational, aesthetic – and timber interests?
• What about invasive species?
• What’s most important in developing your short- and long-term management goals for your own patch of wooded heaven, be it 10 or 10,000 acres?

Let’s take a walk together with the purpose of seeing the forest for the trees. Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust Board Member and forester Charlie Spies, along with Steve Pelletier, consulting forester and wildlife biologist, will spend a couple of hours walking the forest trails of Crystal Spring Farm to discuss all these topics and more.

Come dressed properly for a walk, and with your questions and concerns about forest and woodland management.

Meet at the trailhead at Crystal Spring Farm-North, where the Tom Settlemire Community Garden is located, at the end of Maurice Drive in Brunswick.
