SUMMARY:Brattleboro Conservation Commission
DESCRIPTION:Meeting and panel discussion\nin the Main Reading Room\n\nThis panel discussion is part of a public engagement process hosted by the Brattleboro Conservation Commission after a recent timber harvest at the Brattleboro’s Watershed Forest: Pleasant Valley Reservoir (PVR). It started with an excellent tour by Dan Healey\, the consulting forester for PVR’s Forest Management Plan\, which went into detail discussing the silvicultural treatments used in the most recent harvest and the goals they were meant to fulfill.\n\nHere\, with a panel consisting of consulting foresters\, Dan Healey and Andrew Morrison\, and consulting ecologist Daniel Dubie\, we zoom out to a broader view of forestry and forest ecology for a discussion of the landscape-scale benefits of – and threats to – our regional forests\, and how forestry can maximize those benefits and address those threats\, and (to a lesser degree) how management of PVR fits into that.
