Woods Forum Postponed

- February 12, 2008

The Woods Forum that was scheduled for Feb. 12 has been postponed until Thursday, Feb. 21,  because of inclement weather.

TYRINGHAM - At some point, forest landowners must make decisions about what to do with their woods.

So when a time comes to make a decision about timber cutting or planning, many don't know where to turn for advice. It can be very helpful for landowners to learn about their options in advance by talking with local forestry experts, conservation professionals, and neighbors who also own woodlands.

That's the goal of the Woods Forum to be held Tuesday, Feb. 12, from 7 to 9 p.m. at Tyrningham Town Hall. The Woods Forum will discuss important decisions surrounding woodland ownership and the importance of the woodlands to local communities through:

* A presentation by University of Massachusetts Forestry Extension specialist Paul Catanzaro.
   
* A discussion forum in which landowners can ask question and get answers from neighbors, professionals, and local conservation organizations.

There will be opportunities to meet neighboring landowners, foresters and representatives from local conservation organizations. There will time for discussion and a question-and-answer session.

Forests provide fresh air, clean water, wildlife habitat, scenic beauty, as well as wood products that contribute to the quality of life and the character of the Berkshires. The Woods Forum is made possible  UMass Forestry, Berkshire Environmental Action Team and the Highland Communities Initiative.

No registration is required. For more information contact  Catanzaro  at 413-545-4839 or cat@umext.umass.edu or Jane Winn with Berkshire Environmental Action Team 413-442-6815 or jane@thebeatnews.org.
