As well as being the member picnic, this will be our annual member meeting with election of officers.
We expect to have a short presentation about the Master Forest Owner Program followed by a short hike into the woods - on these walks there is always sharing of knowledge and individual experience about the natural world around us.
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.
