SUMMARY:Currans Renewable Energy Pellet Mill Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Curran Difference – We are a family-owned and operated group of companies with over 40 years of experience in the forest harvesting industry. We produce premium wood products like wood fuel pellets\, BBQ pellets\, and cedar mulch from locally and sustainably harvested timber sourced in the North Country. Our History – With only a few chainsaws\, one used logging truck\, and a doodle-bug built to operate as a skidder\, Patrick Curran and his brothers started a family logging business in Massena\, NY\, in 1976. Curran Logging\, Inc. came together in 1984\, and Seaway Timber Harvesting\, Inc followed in 1990. The companies are owned and operated by brothers Pat\, Tim\, and Lee. Other family members have worked for the company from its early days\, and some continue today\, along with over 100 dedicated employees. Vertical Integration – Seaway Timber Harvesting and Curran Logging harvest timber for paper and board plants in NY\, Ontario\, and Quebec\, Canada. Due to changes in paper market demands\, Curran looked to opportunities in the biomass industry to keep hardworking North Country locals employed. Seaway Timber’s history and expertise paved the way for the establishment of Curran Renewable Energy\, LLC in 2009. Curran Renewable Energy produces Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI) certified – premium grade wood pellet fuel. CRE purchases the necessary feedstock from our sister company\, Seaway Timber Harvesting\, to manufacture our pellets. This relationship allows CRE to control the supply\, wood species\, and the parts of the trees that end up in the products\, giving higher quality wood pellets to meet the demands of our customers. The Future of Biomass – Curran Renewable Energy has been producing renewable biofuel for 14 years. We at CRE are proud of our products because they come from our backyard. Stewardship of the land drives Seaway Timber Harvesting\, Curran Logging\, and Curran Renewable Energy to be innovative leaders in harvesting and manufacturing forest products today.

SUMMARY:Bird-friendly Maple Woods Walk – Uihlein Maple Research Forest
DESCRIPTION:Join the New York Forest Owners Association (NYFOA)\, Audubon New York\, and Cornell’s Uihlein Maple Research Forest for a Woods Walk Workshop focused on the Audubon Bird-Friendly Maple Program. Through the Bird-friendly Maple program Audubon partners with maple producers to enhance sugarbush habitat for forest birds—supporting bird conservation while maintaining productive maple operations. Recognized Bird-Friendly Maple producers commit to managing their forests in ways that improve habitat conditions for priority bird species\, without compromising syrup production. During this workshop\, we will tour Cornell’s Uihlein Maple Research Forest—an officially recognized Bird-Friendly Maple site—and explore how forest management practices can benefit both birds and maple producers. While the event is geared toward maple producers\, forest landowners and managers who do not produce syrup will also gain valuable insights into habitat-friendly forest stewardship.

SUMMARY:Golden Wing Warbler Habitat Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join us as NYFOA partners with Audubon NY and Indian River Lakes Conservancy to bring you a woods walk workshop to demonstrate forest bird habitat management in practice. Specifically\, this program will focus on the unique habitat required by Golden-winged Warblers. Golden-winged Warblers are a migratory shrubland species that have suffered one of the steepest declines of any North American songbird over the past 50 years. Restoration for golden-winged warblers can be challenging due to their habitat needs\, they require a layer of grasses for nest construction\, shrubs to provide nest protection and single standing trees to provide a perch for males to sing. During this program we will tour an area of the reserve that has been specifically managed for golden-winged warbler habitat. We will discuss the habitat needs of this species and highlight opportunities for landowners to incorporate this type of management on their own properties. We will also highlight other forest bird species that will benefit from this type of management. Space is limited to 40 participants\, pre-registration is required.
