SUMMARY:Managing for Old Forest Characteristics: A Field Workshop for Landowners
DESCRIPTION:Register \nAugust 23\, 2022\n9:00 am – 12:00 pm ET \nMarsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Park\, Woodstock\, Vermont \nJoin Dr. Tony D’Amato from the University of Vermont\, as well as Vermont Department of Forests\, Parks\, and Recreation staff and Vermont Land Trust staff to discuss old and old-growth forests\, and how we might manage for some of their desired characteristics. We will learn what those characteristics are\, how to recognize an old forest\, and how to decide whether we should leave our woods alone\, or do some light active management\, to achieve those characteristics. We will discuss everything from broad regional conservation goals to on-the-ground details like how to increase down and standing dead wood in a forest. \nThis event is designed for landowners who wish to enhance their understanding of their forestland\, old forests\, and how they can best protect and enhance the characteristics of old forests. If you are a professional forester interested in this topic\, please contact us for information on other training opportunities.

SUMMARY:Lake States Guild Gathering - Stewardship in Perpetuity in Wisconsin's Driftless Region
DESCRIPTION:Register today (Guild members attend free of charge. Others\, $10) \nFriday\, August 26\, 2022\n8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Central Time\nOptional social 5 – 8 p.m. \nJust outside of New Glarus\, Wisconsin (exact location will be shared after registration) \n5.5 SAF Category 1 Continuing Ed Credits approved. \nAgenda for download \nJoin the Forest Stewards Guild and the Driftless Area Land Conservancy (DALC) to explore a land trust parcel temporarily named the Spring Valley Tract. These 308 acres were donated to DALC and hold a lot of restoration potential\, in a landscape where many neighbors are dedicated to healthy forest and oak savanna systems as well\, so landscape scale results are a huge opportunity here. \nAll who are interested in ecological forestry\, and how that intersects with land stewardship are welcome. One main focus of this Guild Gathering will be to provide opportunities for people involved in holistic land management in the region to meet each other\, learn from one another\, and build connections that help further ecological\, economical\, and socially responsible forestry on lands that are protected in perpetuity. It’s important that land trusts know the foresters who are “putting the forest first” for ecological benefit in management. It’s also important that land trusts\, ecological restoration practitioners\, and foresters in the Driftless Region of Wisconsin have access to resources for responsible forestry\, even on landscapes dominated (and surrounded) by other ecosystem types such as prairie or sedge meadow. \nWe will also walk a small portion of this site\, as a case study from a very early vantage point in stewardship toward healthy natural communities. We’ll discuss what’s been done so far\, what’s possible\, what unique opportunities exist here for Guild-style forestry\, and how to accomplish worthy goals. Come join this rich discussion! There are often many management options…let’s brainstorm the whats and whys together. \nKey to planning at the Spring Valley Tract is community engagement. So\, included is a bit about how stewardship can be supported by public involvement and how stewardship activities can help inspire an understanding and connection to land.
