Yates County Cornell Cooperative Extension, the Master Forest Owner Volunteers, New York DEC, NYFOA and Future Forest Consulting, Inc. will host a woods walk on June 7th from 9:00am – Noon at Del Allen’s woodlot located at 530 State Route 54, Penn Yan, NY. Landowner, Del Allen, DEC Region 8 forester, Jim Bagley, and Future Forest Consulting forester, Corey Figuereido will lead the woods walk. The landowner has been managing his woods for over 30 years and is getting ready to have a commercial thinning which will produce sellable timber. The trees that will be cut have been marked and attendees will have the opportunity to see what a marked woodlot looks like. This interactive woods walk will discuss why specific trees have been marked for cutting and why others have not been marked. This woods walk will be led by both the landowner and the foresters who have worked together in making these thinning decisions and they will take the time to talk about the decisions that they have made and why. Additionally, the presenters will address issues that every landowner should be aware of when preparing for a commercial timber harvest. Being fully prepared ahead of time will ensure a quality harvest and peace of mind for the landowner.

The hemlocks in my woodlots have been infested with hemlock wooley adelgid (HWA) for at least three years now. Lately I've noticed some of them having a rust colored bark and I wonder if this is normal and that I just didn't notice it previously? …Continue

Question: In Peter Smallidge's most recent "Ask a Professional" column for NYFOA's Forest Owner magazine he stated that some log buyers will reject ash that shows outward signs of "blonding" on the bark. Is this because the wood will change…Continue
