Conservation Commission Past Events

A group of engaged folks joined us at the Cornish Town Offices to hear Dode Gladders talk about the basics of forest ecology with an emphasis on the importance of diversity in resilient forests.

A few takeaways from the talk:
1. A diverse forest can help landowners meet multiple goals including forest health, wildlife habitat, and periodic income.

2. Managing forests to increase diversity can help to protect water quality.

3. A diverse “forest portfolio” is likely to be more resilient to climate change and unexpected weather events.

4. Several grants are available to help offset forest management costs.
