SUMMARY:NAC Final Woodswalk - 2026

The\nNew York Forest Owners Association’s Northern Adirondack Chapter announces\nits final Woodswalk of the season\, to be held at 301 Chipman Corners Rd\, Lisbon\nNY 13658 commencing at 9:00 am. Our host Dan Rutherford is very active in his\nforest and is the face of a multi-generational effort involving his father\, siblings\nand many other family members\, who collectively own over 400 acres. There is a\nlong history of silvicultural work\, which continues today with Dan’s participation\nin grant opportunities. The family has undertaken planting several different tree\nspecies and Dan continues to operate a Bandsaw mill to market forest products\nfrom the property. We will make a stop at the mill to get a real time view of the\nmill in operation. Dan will also highlight the history and current state of the maple\noperation\, which is a blend of modern practices and some old school tried and\ntrue methods. Finally\, he will also discuss efforts to manage the deer herd by\nleasing a family-built cabin to an out-of-the-area hunt club and his lease\narrangements with local farmers to offset property taxes.\nThere will be a significant bit of walking involved in this event; however\, the\nterrain is very friendly with little elevation change. We will break at midday for a\nbrown bag lunch. Please note\, there are bathroom facilities available at one stop.\nDoor prizes will be awarded at days end.
