The first session of Great Mountain Forest‘s 2026 Woodland Academy, “Hosting Hunters on Your Land,” is scheduled for Saturday, May 23 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at GMF’s Yale Camp. This course is for private landowners, land trusts, municipalities, and forest stewards interested in understanding whether and how to allow hunting on their property while balancing safety, liability, conservation goals, and community relationships.
The GMF Woodland Academy offers workshops for forest owners (individuals, nonprofits, municipalities) to understand, steward, and sustainably use their land. Participants learn about ecosystem processes (e.g., fungal networks), interpretive skills (e.g., tree ID), management practices (e.g., climate smart stewardship), and sustainable uses (e.g., wood products or ecotourism). Workshops support professional continuing education, and foster partnerships among participants, creating a more connected regional forest community.
Course Fee: $25
