Join Cornell Cooperative Extension of Columbia and Greene Counties along with Cornell University Natural Resource professionals at the Windham Mountain Resort, to discuss challenges to our Forests. Our regional trees and forests are being impacted by invasive insect pests, overwhelmed by competing ground vegetation, and eaten by deer. Why should we care? Trees and forests clean our water and air, sequester carbon, support wildlife, provide local energy and valuable wood resources, plus provide places to recreate and relax. Learn about these topics, have discussions on solutions and discover valuable resources to help deal with these issues. Credits will be available for planning board members, SAF foresters and TLC loggers. To register go online at https://reg.cce.cornell.edu/forestchallenges_210 or call 518-622-9820 x0 . Registration deadline is November 6th.
