On Oct 28, Forester Jeffrey Smith of Butternut Hollow Forestry will present forest management limitations and priorities. Jeff oversaw the most recent timber harvest on the northern parcel so is very familiar with the property and its forest values. The entire property will be considered in the context of the townwide trail network and recreation possibilities will be discussed.
