Please describe, with two or three sentences, why you are interested in woodlot ecology and management. Your answer helps us ensure that only those people truly interested in woodlots are added as members.
We steward forest, meadow, and wetland on our farm in the Catskills. I am a Master Forest Owner Volunteer in training, a member of the board of the Michael Kudish Natural History Preserve, a member of the board of CCE Delaware County, a member of the Catskill Forest Association. I am most interested in forest health, biodiversity and climate change and would like to connect with other landowners about forest health and wildlife in the Catskills and beyond.
