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:SOT Tree Identification Woodswalk
DESCRIPTION:The woods walk will be held at Jerry Michael’s tree farm\, 3192 State Route 206 in Whitney Point\, NY. The property is one mile east of the village of Whitney Point and parking will be along the wide eastbound shoulder of the road. The walk will be approximately one mile in length on mostly level ground. There are 15 different hardwood and 8 conifer tree species on the property. Some of the less-common trees are Swamp White Oak\, Sycamore\, Tulip Poplar\, American Chestnut and Cedar of Lebanon. \nIf you have a tree identification app\, bring your phone and test your app against the real thing. Wi Fi is available from most points on the property\, but not all. Bring your kids and grandkids and introduce them to a basic skill for woodlot management and enjoyment. Please call Jerry at (607) 648-2941 if you are coming so we can plan for parking\, and leave a phone number we can call if we have to cancel due to severe weather (we won’t cancel for a drizzle).\n\nPeter Smallidge\, NYS Extension Forester\, wrote an article in the November 2023 NY Forest Owner with recommendations for plant ID apps.

SUMMARY:Capital District Woodswalk
DESCRIPTION:Tom retired from a career in forestry at NYSDEC\, and he has practiced his skills on their 180 acre property since the day he and Anna made their first woodland purchase. Join us for a walking tour of a special portion of their woodlands. \nThere will be an overview of past and ongoing management practices on this land\, but the focus will be on an area where a timber harvest was conducted in 2023. Many valuable trees were left standing with crowns released to allow continued growth. We will see how the forest has regenerated in areas of past management\, and in the most recent harvest area. Getting desirable vegetation species to return is always a challenge\, so there will be examples of mitigation efforts to help create the next woodlot stand\, one that is healthy and diverse. \nAny disturbance to the woods creates opportunities for wildlife\, and we will see examples of how critters are thriving as a result of the disturbance. The great flush of vegetation that comes in\, responding to added sunlight\, creates rich feeding grounds and physical protection for many wildlife species. \nThe trail leads through an old agricultural field now grown into a forest. Of interest is seeing which tree species naturally seeded in\, and which of those are winning the competition to grow to maturity! \nThe terrain is nearly level and we will be walking on skid/tractor trails and some grassy fields. Sturdy shoes are recommended\, and dress for the weather. \nPlease RSVP with Carol at happyinthehollow@gmail.com by Thursday September 25. \nSponsored by Capital District Chapter of NY Forest Owners Association\, the event is free and open to the public.
