“Forest resilience” is a big buzzword right now, especially in the face of climate change. But what does a resilient forest – or farm or field – really look like? Join us in this series to connect with local foresters and learn from real stories of sustainable land stewardship.
Together with the deedholder (landowner) and Hilltown Land Trust staff, licensed Forester Ry Patton of Bay State Forestry will give a tour of two neighbors’ forests he manages on Village Hill in Williamsburg. This session will focus on opportunities to neighbors to work together for healthier forests. Curious about what a forest management plan can do for your land? Want to learn more about forest health? Eager to look at forests with a new perspective? This free walk is for you!
This series is part of the Resilient Upper Mill River Watershed Project in Williamsburg funded through the Commonwealth’s Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) program.
