Profile Information
- How many acres of woodland do you own or annually manage?
- I don't actually own much woodland myself maybe just a small 15-acre plot. I spend most of my time managing other people's land. Annually, I probably oversee a few thousand acres across different clients, mostly family woodlots and local land trusts.
- 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.
- As for why I got into it? Honestly, it started with just wandering around the woods here as a kid. When I learned that so much of our forest is just abandoned 1800s farms coming back to life, it hooked me. I love reading the landscape—figuring out where the old stone walls were, how the trees are healing the soil. Once you realize trees are actually talking to each other and sharing nutrients through the ground, it stops being just a job. It’s just fascinating ecology. Plus, I get to be outside instead of stuck in an office.
