Women and Our Woods Working Sugarbush Field Tour

Our growing understanding of the responses of flora and fauna to different forest structure and composition has allowed landowners like Smokey House Center to manage their forests more intentionally with climate resilience and biodiversity in mind. Specifically, as a recognized Audubon Bird Friendly Maple producer, Smokey House designed upcoming sugarbush management on Dorset Mountain toward enhancing breeding forest bird habitat.

Join Rose Gellman, Forestry Research and Apprenticeship Coordinator at Smokey House, and Fen Levy-O’Malley, Forest Conservation Senior Associate with Audubon VT, for tours of Smokey House’s historic and future sugarbushes to learn about the history of maple production at Smokey House, current and future forest management projects on the property, and the importance of forest stewardship to bird populations and biodiversity.

This event is aimed at women and nonbinary landowners and woodland enthusiasts, but all are welcome to attend! SAF and VT forester license credits available.
