SOUTH PARIS — The Western Maine Chapter of Maine Woodland Owners and the Oxford County SWCD will hold an in-person educational meeting at the Tenmile River Demonstration Forest in Brownfield from 9 a.m. to noon, Friday, Aug. 21.
Mike Richard, Oxford County district forester with the Maine Forest Service, and Merle Ring, retired district forester and consulting forester, will discuss different forest management strategies on timber stands around the demonstration forest, and will discuss the benefits of using consulting foresters to assist woodland owners in managing their woodlands.
The Tenmile River Demonstration Forest is a 300-acre parcel owned and managed by the Oxford County Soil & Water Conservation District for education about forests, wildlife habitat and water resources. It is open to the public for hiking, snowshoeing and skiing, with more than six miles of marked trails.
The demonstration forest is off Notch Road on the Hiram/Brownfield town line. From Fryeburg, drive south on Route 5 through Brownfield Center. About six miles south of the intersection of Route 160 and Route 5, take a right on Notch Road. At about 2.5 miles you will see a big green gate on the right.
Preregistration is required by emailing Michele Windsor at oxfordcountyswcd@outlook.com. Masks and social distancing are required.
