Woodstock, Vermont

Join us as we celebrate Guild member Gerry Hawkes, honored as 2025’s Vermont Tree Farmer of the Year! We will continue to mark the Guild’s 30th anniversary at his tree farm in scenic Woodstock, Vermont!

The draft agenda includes:

• A guided woods walk and conversation with Gerry about his award-winning stewardship practices,
• A visit to his workshop, showcasing his inventions and small-scale logging equipment,
• A casual evening of networking with the Guild community,
• Appetizers, a campfire, and s’mores, to end the evening on a sweet note!

We will continue to celebrate our 30th Anniversary in 2026 with more special events like this one, honoring decades of ecological forestry and highlighting the exemplary stewardship of the Guild community. If you didn’t make it to a member-hosted event in 2025, put this one on your calendar, and more on the way!
