SUMMARY:Controlling Unwanted Vegetation\, With and Without Chemicals
DESCRIPTION:A panel discussion featuring Consulting Forester and Certified Pesticide Applicator Mike Blasko\, plus four Southern Tier Chapter members who have had considerable experience with controlling invasive and interfering vegetation on their own properties. \nIn our recent survey\, several SOT Chapter members expressed their interest in a program on this subject. Mike Blasko has provided consulting services on numerous stewardship projects involving unwanted vegetation control\, some with cost-sharing under the NRCS EQIP program. Jerry Michael and Steve Kutney have decades of experience with chemical control of invasive vegetation in their woodlots\, while Darryl Wood and John Knapp have enjoyed success with non-chemical means of control. Each panel member will take a few minutes to describe their experiences\, and there will be time for questions and additional sharing from other attendees. \nMarch 29\, 2025\, 1:30 – 3:30\, in the auditorium at Cornell Cooperative Extension\, 840 Upper Front Street\, Binghamton\, N.Y. This meeting is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:CDC Woodswalk
DESCRIPTION:Join us on our WOODS WALK\nSUNDAY\, OCTOBER 6\, NOON TO 3:00 pm\nat 13 Coonradt Road\, Cropseyville\, NY 12052\nThe 60 acre property of Ellen Graf and Zhong-hua Lu is located on the Rensselaer Plateau about ¼ mile North of the conserved Valentino Community Forest on Stuffle Street.\nJoined by a forester and Ellen as guides\, we will concentrate on the upper part of the property which includes pasture being pioneered by young trees of several species\, 2003 and 2004 plantings for wildlife food\, and many acres of woodland. We will look at the results of several methods of controlling invasive species\, consider the impacts of a 2020 timberland improvement cutting\, have a look at some diseased areas\, and\, if we are lucky\, have the experts talk mushrooms. The walk includes a view of Tomhannock Reservoir to the north. We will mainly use existing lumber roads that are not difficult to walk.\nThese landowners are very active on the wooded property they love\, and there is much to learn from their experience.\nThere is plenty of parking in front of the house and on the grass to the sides. We will gather early and aim to begin the walk by NOON. Some chairs will be provided for those who want to sit (some of us are getting older\, you know) and people are welcome to use the bathroom inside.\nTo RSVP\, please contact Carol at happyinthehollow@gmail.com by October 4th.

SUMMARY:CDC Woodswalk
DESCRIPTION:The Capital District Chapter of the New York Forest Owners Association inviteS you to a walk at the Rheinstrom Hill Audubon Sanctuary and Center\, a 1039-acre forest in southeastern Columbia County\, that provides habitat for many at-risk climate-threatened bird species\, such as Wood Thrush\, Veery\, Scarlet Tanager\, Rose-breasted Grosbeak\, Blue-headed Vireo\, and warblers such as Ovenbird\, Chestnut-sided\, Black-throated Blue\, Black and White\, and Blackburnian. The address for the woodswalk is 225 Cambridge Rd\, Hillsdale\, NY 12529 \nEric Lind\, Director of Center Programs and Education at the Sanctuary\, will discuss land use and history at Rheinstrom Hill and how Audubon is managing the forest to improve diversity\, habitat\, health\, and resiliency. By Demonstrating their successes to the public\, Audubon is educating foresters\, loggers and landowners on forestry techniques that benefit woodland bird species. \nThere will be discussion regarding the negative impacts deer can have on forest regeneration and the natural diversity of forest tree\, shrub and wildflower species\, which in turn affect native bird and mammal populations. Rheinstrom Hill has three demonstration areas with small clearcuts for habitat improvement. These cuts were done 8\, 6 and 4 year(s) ago and half of each area has a deer exclosure. A fourth area with open canopy and existing oak saplings was recently fenced to demonstrate how wildlife habitat can be improved once deer browsing pressure is removed. The difference in regeneration within and without the deer exclosure is something you have to see to believe\, and will be very informative to folks interested in healthy forests and wildlife habitat. \nAudubon has an interesting magazine article that can be found at https://www.audubon.org/magazine/surging-deer-popu…. Thiselaborates on the deer problem in eastern forests and what they and Cornell University have been working on for solutions. \nTo register please email NYFOA member Carol at happyinthehollow@gmail.com by September 19. \nPlease park in the lots near the old nature center\, with overflow along the gravel roadway leading into the sanctuary. \nThe event is limited to 40 participants to ensure a quality experience and facilitate group discussion.
