Great Mountain Forest (GMF) has been chosen by the New England Forestry Foundation as a core Connecticut partner to host one-day workshops on practices that promote forest health and resilience.
The workshops, planned for May and September, are designed for landowners managing at least 25 acres of forest as well as land trusts and their forest managers. As part of the NEFF collaboration, GMF will also demonstrate climate smart practices in the forest and work to have them embraced broadly through outreach programs. During the workshops, eligible landowner participants will learn how to receive incentive funds to implement climate smart practices.
Mike Zarfos, executive director of GMF, said the broader goal of the collaboration is to help New England forests combat climate change, protect biodiversity and build ecosystem resilience.
