Behind the Scenes: The Woods Behind Your Outdoor Adventures
Join VWA, the Craftsbury Outdoor Center, and Forester Rick Morrill to explore the forests that sustain recreation at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center. On this woods tour we will walk and talk, uncovering how this renowned destination balances sustainability, ecological forest management, and recreation for world-class athletes. Forester Rick Morrill, along with Craftsbury staff, will lead a two-hour walk through the property highlighting forest management goals and strategies that help to meet these varied goals. After the walk there will be snacks and opportunities to socialize.
This tour will include examples of the "triad approach" to forest management, ecological reserves, sustainable forestry practices, and small-scale intensive management that create a balanced management regime to support sustainable recreation. Please join us on this walk to see the forest behind one of Vermont's premier outdoor recreation sites!
