Great Mountain Forest‘s Woodland Academy, “Sugarbush Management for Forest Health and Wildlife,” will take place at GMF’s Yale Camp, Saturday, June 20 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. This course is for landowners, maple syrup producers, land trusts, municipalities, and forest managers interested in managing sugarbushes in ways that support sustainable sap production, healthy forests, and wildlife—particularly forest birds.
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
