Moose Mountains Regional Greenways (MMRG) and Branch Hill Farm/the Carl Siemon Family Charitable Trust (BHF/CSFCT) are teaming up again to offer a free forestry workshop led by consulting forester Charlie Moreno. From 9 to 11 am on Saturday, Oct 31, Moreno will discuss “Managing for a Healthy Forest”, using examples from the forest lands of Branch Hill Farm where the workshop will take place.Says Moreno, “Climate change, invasive plants, insects, and high-grading are some of the concerns affecting our forests.  Come see innovative methods to improve your woodlands and help them remain resilient over the long-term.”The workshop is aimed at beginners and of particular interest to woodlot owners and members of the public concerned about the health of our region’s forests. All levels of experience are welcome, however, and Moreno always has new information to share.Charlie Moreno has practiced as a consulting forester for more than thirty years. He has managed over 30,000 acres of forests for private landowners, conservation organizations, and communities in southern New Hampshire and Maine, including the forests of Branch Hill Farm.For more information and to pre-register, please call MMRG’s Education Coordinator Kari Lygren at (603) 978-7125 or email info@mmrgnh.org.
