DANBURY —A guided tour of a timber sale on The Forest Society's Victor's Woods forest reservation in Danbury will be offered Saturday, Nov. 3 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The three foresters leading the tour are Wendy Weisiger of the Forest Society, Jeremy Turner of Meadowsend Timberlands and Tim Fleury, Merrimack County forester.
Victor's Woods grows nearly every species of conifer – pine, spruce, hemlock, fir and tamarack. Patch cuts and summer soil scarification techniques are among the methods employed to help regenerate softwoods on the property.
Participants can see the mechanized "cut to length" harvesting equipment in use and learn about the site-specific considerations, layout of roads and landings, wood products generated and the wood markets.
The tour is sponsored by the Society for the Protection of NH Forests, Meadowsend Timberlands and UNH Cooperative Extension.
To register for the tour, call 603-224-9945, or visit forestsociety.org and click on the Things to Do tab.
