How We Pay Loggers and Why it Matters

August 6

9 AM- 12 PM

652 Stony Brook Road, Northfield

We invite loggers, foresters, landowners, and any else who has interest in talking about this topic. We will cover the pros and cons of traditional stumpage and percentage pay systems and also TBHL’s alternative by the thousand payment system; we will look at goals, outcomes, financial ramifications, and impacts on woodlot ecology. Further, we will consider the short- and long-term ramifications of an industry-wide switch to an alternative payment model for loggers, with a particular emphasis on evolving woodlot management goals held by today’s Vermont landowners. Click here to register.
