Anyone interested in local forestry is invited to attend a Forest Walk on Saturday, Dec. 12, from noon-2 p.m. Walk hosts include Hidden Valley Nature Center (HVNC) Forester Barrie Brusila, HVNC Co-Founder Tracy Moskovitz, and Midcoast Conservancy Forestry and Lands Manager Tim Libby; participants will join them for a walk through the next forest project area at HVNC.  The hosts will explain the Crop Tree Release project at HVNC and how it relates to forest health, wildlife and habitat, soil and water quality, trail layout, harvesting, recreation and more.

This is the first in a three-part series. This walk will focus on the Pre-crop Tree Release; future walks will address what goes on during the Crop Tree Release, and after it.

Participants should meet at the Barn; everyone should bring a mask and be prepared to maintain physical distancing protocols. The rain date for the event is Sunday, Dec. 13, from noon-2 p.m. Registration for the free walk can be found at https://www.midcoastconservancy.org/events/forest-walk-at-hidden-valley-nature-center/
