A series of workshops will be held from May through September at Great Mountain Forest (GMF). The series features several curriculum modules of GMF’s Woodland Academy and will be held at the Yale Forestry Camp in Great Mountain Forest.
The first workshop, a full-day session on strategies and funding opportunities, is slated for May 22. GMF will host “Game of Logging I and II” sessions June 12 and 13, during which chainsaw skills will be taught. And on August 8, Star Childs of GMF and Dave Beers of the DEEP will teach land navigation and mapping skills.
A three-day intensive course is scheduled for August 1, 15 and September 12, beginning with tree and shrub identification and moving on to creation of wildlife habitats. The workshops conclude with an exploration of management resources such as technical assistance programs, cost-share opportunities and tools of the trade. Each workshop combines classroom learning with field experience.
