Forests and People:
A Long-Term Relationship
Saturday, July 12
Registration deadline: July 10
10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
Free
Forests are an important part of our future and how we manage our rural landscape today will greatly affect the forests for many generations to come. The Agroforestry Resource Center will be hosting this free workshop to better understand this. The choices we make concerning our forests impact rural communities where they occur as well as urban and suburban communities who depend on forests for numerous goods and services. Come to this free workshop to learn about the history and importance of New York State forests, get an overview of regional forest stewardship resources, and tour the Siuslaw Model Forest. Attendees will also receive a 70-page Guide to Common Trees of the Eastern U.S. and lunch free of charge. Space is limited and pre-registration is required so don’t wait. This event is sponsored by the Agroforestry Resource Center, the Watershed Agricultural Council, the U.S. Forest Service, the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, New York Forest Owners Association and the Hudson Mohawk RC&D Council.
