Join the Forest Guild for its third Northeast Regional meeting. The two-day program will explore how foresters, allied professionals, and supporters can practice or promote excellent forestry, which upholds the triple bottom line (ecological, social, and financial) in challenging times.

Register before March 23rd to receive the early registration discount.

Scheduled as the keynote speaker is Robert S. Seymour, the Curtis Hutchins professor of Forest Resources at the University of Maine. His topic: Darwin’s Forestry: Is our profession advancing scientifically, or merely reacting with opportunism? 

Other speakers include Lloyd Irland, The Irland Group, on The Economic Picture for Excellent Forestry; Mark Ducey, professor of Biometrics at University of New Hampshire, on Biomass: What’s Out There; and Ben Machin, Redstart Forestry, and Keith Ross, LandVest, on Aggregating Family Forests for Conservation and Excellent Forestry.

Discussion sections focus on the economics of excellent forestry, woody biomass, aggregation for conservation easements, and new technology for field foresters. Participants may also take advantage of the field tours to Saddleback Mountain and James Tree Farm.
