In 2023, a sustainable harvest was conducted on Smelt Brook Preserve. York Land Trust’s Consulting Forester, Charlie Moreno, will lead an interpretive walk of the area, touching upon why the harvest was conducted, how forestry can help manage for issues from disease to a changing climate, and what sustainable forest management looks like. The program will entail less than a mile of walking with several stops for discussion, and may be of interest to woodlot owners, students, naturalists, and anyone interested in the health of our forests. Participants are encouraged to ask questions!
Based in Strafford NH, Charlie Moreno, Licensed Professional Forester, has been a practicing Consulting Forester for over 40 years, and manages over 30,000 acres of forests for private landowners, conservation organizations, and communities in southern New Hampshire and Maine.
