WINTHROP — Kennebec Woodland Partnership will host a forestry field tour of Kennebec Land Trust’s Oak Hill Conservation Area in Fayette at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 22.
Kennebec Land Trust will be managing this property to protect Maine’s wildlife and water quality and for outdoor recreation. Some of the property’s forest stands will be forever wild, while others will be demonstration sites for ecological forestry practices focused on late successional forest growth and climate benefits.
The community forestry day provides opportunities for landowners and managers to learn more about sustainable forestry management with Two Trees Forestry, Maine Forest Service, Maine Tree Farm and Kennebec Land Trust. For more information, click here or contact Marie Ring at mring@tklt.org or 207-377-2848.
To get to the site, from the Fayette general store, continue north on Route 17 for 2.5 miles. Turn left on Fayette Corner Road and then take an immediate left on Norton Rd. Continue for half a mile to a temporary parking area marked with a KLT sign.
