Great Mountain Forest‘s Woodland Academy, “Using Hand Tools to Manage Your Woods,” will take place at GMF’s Yale Camp, Tuesday, July 28 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This course is for landowners, land stewards, and conservation practitioners interested in hands-on forest management techniques using non-mechanized tools.
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
