Regeneration harvesting in a challenging
environment
A silviculture workshop at the J. Maynard Miller
Municipal Forest. Basin Road, Vernon Vermont
The Vernon
Town Forest
is a 469 acre tract consisting of hemlock, red oak, black birch, white pine and
associated species with a history of active management. It includes the
outstanding old-growth black gum swamps.
Deer browse pressure and public use are high, creating potential
conflicts with forest management activities.
In summer of 2009, about 80 acres were treated with a
variety of harvest strategies to implement uneven aged management. Included were large and small group
selection, thinning, and various shelterwood treatments. Registration and
greetings will start promptly at 8:30 with an introductory session at 9:00 and
tour of recent harvesting. We will be
back to the tent about 12:30 for a catered BBQ chicken lunch. In the afternoon, we will look at previously
harvested units and the black gum swamps, returning about 3:30. An informal discussion and beverages will
follow.
Cost is $45 per person, catered BBQ chicken
lunch for those who pre-register by May 16th. We need to arrange a specific number for

Identifying freshwater wetlands in the landscape. May 24, 2012
Directions: GPS:
Lat N 42 43.944’ W 72 32.496’
Vt. Dept F&W, (invited)
Steve Hardy: Green Mountain Forestry, managing forester J.
Maynard Miller Municipal Forest
9 - 3:30 pm
This 2-part workshop series will be useful to anyone who needs to be able to identify the presence of freshwater wetlands in the landscape, such as land surveyors, foresters, landscapers, etc. Presented by Dr. Deborah Picking,
University of Massachusetts Department of Plant, Soil, and Insect Sciences.
Part 1:
This introduction to inland wetland plant identification will begin with an overview of the major characteristics of woody and non-woody vegetation used for identification in most plant keys. Guided exercises will be used in a classroom/ laboratory setting to practice keying out plant specimens collected from local wetland sources. An afternoon field trip to a local wetland will allow opportunity to practice identification skills in a natural setting. Related topics such as plant adaptations to wetland hydrology and the concept of “hydrophytic” vegetation will also be discussed. Required Text: Field Guide to Nontidal Wetland Identification, by Ralph W. Tiner, Jr. (Cost of $25 for text not included in registration fee. Please indicate when registering if you wish to purchase a copy of this field guide.)
Cost $100 per session; $190 if registering for both sessions. Pre-registration required, as space is limited.

Identifying freshwater wetlands in the landscape. May 31, 2012

This 2-part workshop series will be useful to anyone who needs to be able to identify the presence of freshwater wetlands in the landscape, such as land surveyors, foresters, landscapers, etc. Presented by Dr. Deborah Picking,
University of Massachusetts Department of Plant, Soil, and Insect Sciences.
Part 2:
Participants will be introduced to some of the fundamental characteristics of soils that are used to identify hydric (wetland) soils in the field -- including soil texture,color, horizon type and redoximorphic features. The afternoon will include a field trip to a local wetland where participants will examine plants and soils along a wetland/ nonwetland gradient. Plant communities will be used to locate transitional wetland-upland areas in the landscape for further investigation of their soil characteristics. Participants should have taken Training Session I of this series or be able to identify wetland vegetation (by permission of instructor).
Cost $100 per session; $190 if registering for both sessions. Pre-registration required, as space is limited.
