Date/Time: Friday, August 2nd, 9AM-3PM
Location: Log landing off North Road in Sebec, Maine*
Join hosts and Forest Stewards Guild members Bob Seymour (University of Maine Professor Emeritus) and Ali Kosiba (University of Vermont Assistant Professor) for a day-long, intensive field discussion of how emerging concerns about carbon and climate can influence ecological silvicultural systems. We will visit the stands discussed by Kosiba and Seymour in their Northeast Silviculture Institute for Foresters' presentation (video) about management options for forest carbon, along with other stands treated with various irregular shelterwood prescriptions in 2017. Wicopy Woods, a Guild Model Forest in Sebec Maine, has been managed by Guild members since 1968 and has twice been named Maine’s Outstanding Tree Farm in 1983 and 2020.
Participants will meet at the log landing off the North Road at 8:30AM for refreshments. GPS coordinates and directions will be sent to registered participants. Tour will begin at 9AM and end by 3PM. Bring a lunch, water, and bug repellent for a full day in the woods. After the tour, we will gather at Bissell Three Rivers Brewery, arguably Maine’s best brewery, in nearby Milo (6 miles away).
Registration is required and capped at 40 participants. This tour is designed for a forester audience; Continuing education credits are pending.
*GPS coordinates and directions will be sent to registered participants
