Environment Events in Carmel

Join us for a woodland walk to learn about local forest ecology and management practices used to maintain healthy, productive forests. Join us for a guided woodland walk at the Clearpool Model Forest! Certified forester Chris Prentis from Lower Hudson Forestry Services will lead us through the trails to discuss the best management practices and land use strategies used at Clearpool to maintain a healthy and productive working forest within the NYC Watershed. See various forest stands and hear about silviculture methods, and local forest ecology. In addition, learn about the Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Master Forest Owner (MFO) program and how you can request a free forest visit to help prioritize your woodland goals or become a volunteer MFO yourself. Participants will receive a follow-up email with helpful digital resources.
