SUMMARY:Virtue and The Steward’s Mind - Communicating Forestry webinar series
DESCRIPTION:Register \nJune 4\, 2024\n7:00 – 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time \nJoin Guild member Marianne Patinelli-Dubay\, a philosopher with the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry\, for a presentation focused on understanding Guild-style forestry in the context of virtue ethics. Following the presentation\, participants will be encouraged to explore these theoretical concepts in a facilitated discussion.  \nA forester is trained to understand and facilitate the necessary conditions for regeneration and flourishing. Through practice and careful observation over time\, your ability to recognize the natural limits of a forest stand is refined. You take an inventory and reach a conclusion about how to proceed with a harvest by inhabiting the slope and aspect of the land\, reading the ground for difficulties\, knowing your own limits and those of others to identify and then do the right thing.    \nAs your steward’s mind matures\, your approach becomes intuitive. Your familiarity with the land and your knowledge of what it wants in terms of optimal conditions becomes a matter of how you see more than how you see the land.  Is this forestry or virtue? Is there a difference? How and when do virtue and forestry coincide? To proceed with honesty\, courage\, and a clear understanding of need versus desire means living in the question of what good forestry means for the way we work and live on the land.   \nAs part of our Communicating Forestry Series\, this webinar recognizes that the more we understand what motivates Guild members to do good forestry\, the better we can communicate good forestry and its drivers to specific interested parties\, landowners\, and the general public.   \nWatch recordings of previous webinars in this Communicating Forestry Series\, by and for Guild members on YouTube. The full list of previous sessions is in the Guild’s webinar library.

SUMMARY:Environmental Ethics in Running a Logging Business
DESCRIPTION:Register \nJune 13\, 2024\n7:00 – 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time \nJoin us for a discussion with Guild member Katrina Amaral of Timberdoodle Farm to learn about logging for long-term sustainable land management while farming\, what to consider for stand health and diversity\, and Timberdoodle’s environmental ethic. \nTimberdoodle Farm is a specialty logging & sawmill business based in Strafford\, New Hampshire. Owners Miles and Katrina Amaral began custom sawmilling on a homemade chainsaw mill in 2010\, operating out of their landlord’s driveway in Madbury. With backgrounds in mechanical engineering and conservation biology\, Miles and Katrina found that they weren’t satisfied by commercial timber offerings – they believe in locally-sourced\, ecologically responsible lumber. Timberdoodle Farm has been featured in NPR Marketplace\, Fast Company\, Northern Woodlands\, The Northern Logger magazine\, and various podcasts. \nKatrina and Miles are members of NH Timberland Owners Association (NHTOA) and the Northeast Loggers Association (NELA). In addition\, Katrina serves on the Board of NELA\, as a member of the Forest Society’s (SPNHF) Forestry Committee\, and a professional member of the Forest Stewards Guild.
