SUMMARY:Managing for Old Growth Forest Characteristics: A Field Workshop for Professional Foresters
DESCRIPTION:Register \nSeptember 27\, 2022 \n9:00 am – 3:00 pm ET \nMerck Forest and Farmland Center\, Rupert\, Vermont \nAre you a landowner? Check out the event designed for landowners and others interested in this topic: https://vlt.org/events/old-forest-workshop-for-landowners/ \nSAF CE credits will be available to qualifying participants. \nThis full-day session will train professional foresters in managing for old-growth forest characteristics. The day will begin indoors with a review of concepts. How do we recognize old-growth (or old) forests\, and what are their characteristics? Why do we desire more of these characteristics on the landscape? \nIn the field we will discuss strategies for potential assessment and management. Do we recognize the features of old forest? When is it appropriate to manage? When is it best to take a hands-off approach? How do we assess landowner goals and integrate these with broader conservation goals? If management is warranted\, what are some methods for achieving the desired conditions? \nThe day will be led by Paul Catanzaro and Dr. Tony D’Amato\, authors of a new update to a document on Managing for Old Growth Characteristics\, to be published this fall. Vermont Land Trust and Vermont Department of Forests\, Parks\, and Recreation will be involved in the discussion\, as will all foresters present.
