SUMMARY:Forests that Fill the Faucet: How Active Stewardship Protects Drinking Water in the Bay State
DESCRIPTION:Register for this webinar \nWednesday\, March 4th\, 2026  \n12:00 – 1:00 p.m. ET  \nJoin the Forest Stewards Guild and the Massachusetts chapter of the Society of American Foresters for an engaging webinar on active forest management in the watersheds of central Massachusetts.  \nIn the late 1800s\, Boston’s rapid growth created an urgent need for clean\, reliable drinking water. The state responded by constructing reservoirs and water supply systems in central Massachusetts\, beginning with the Wachusett Reservoir in 1895. This work reshaped the landscape through dam construction\, land management\, and the acquisition of nearby lands.  \nToday\, the Department of Conservation and Recreation’s Division of Water Supply Protection (DWSP) owns and manages 100\,000 acres of largely forested watershed dedicated to water supply protection. Active forest management is central to safeguarding this critical system\, which provides drinking water to 2.7 million people.  \nIn this collaborative webinar\, watershed foresters Ken Canfield and Doug Hutcheson will present on:  \n\nThe “forest filter” concept and watershed forestry in central Massachusetts  \n\n\nHow management strategies have adapted as forests\, threats\, and objectives have shifted \n\n\nHighlights from current projects\, including restoration of fire-dependent communities \n\nFeaturing Speakers from the MA DCR Division of Water Supply Protection:  \n\nKen Canfield\, Chief Forester – Quabbin and Ware River Watersheds\, and Guild member!\n\n\nDouglas Hutcheson\, Forester – South Quabbin \n\nDon’t miss out! Register today!  \nThis event is approved for 1.00 SAF Category 1 Continuing Education Credit.  \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Michelle Giles at mgiles at forestguild dot org
