Good Forestry Practice
Place: Old Dublin Rd., Hancock, NH (about 22 miles from Keene)

Moderately easy hike of about one mile through land owned by the Harris Center, located on Old Dublin Road in Hancock. This parcel of forest was recently subject to a small cut on about 17 acres. Among the goals guiding the operation was regeneration of oak, and enhancement of wildlife habitat. The contract with the forester addressed issues including post harvest condition of skid routes and trails, post harvest seeding of soil, and avoidance of collateral damage to standing timber. This program will appeal to landowners who may be looking for guidance on best forestry practice. Leaving the Harris Center at 9 am, with Eric Masterson, Land Protection Specialist, and Wayne Young, Consulting Forester. Back by noon.
