New York Forest Owners Association Fall Woodswalk
Saturday, October 6th, 2018. 9:30 – 12 noon. 158 Bailor Rd, Brooktondale. Join us for a ~ 1 mile woods walk through the 123-acre Hobnob Forest with owner and forester Tim Levatich. Started in 1975 by Tim’s father, Peter, recreation was an early and constant focus, along with growing prime saw timber and firewood. We’ll see the results of a shelterwood cut to establish young forest, the aftermath of forest tent caterpillar, and the successful regeneration of sugar maple. A network of forest roads has been important for all management and recreation activities. There are many things to see and topics to discuss surrounding 43 years of intensive management on this family forest. We will also look at challenges to regenerating the next forest. Please come and learn from our mistakes, so you can have a head start in your own woods. Sponsored by the Southern Finger Lakes Chapter of the NY Forest Owners Association. Free and open to the public. Children are welcome with supervision. Light refreshments will be served in the morning. Rain or shine so please dress for the weather and to walk in forest condition! For more information, please contact Tim at: TPL10@cornell.edu, or Brett Chedzoy at Schuyler Cornell Cooperative Extension: bjc226@cornell.edu (cell: 607-742-3657)
