Harvesting on Williamsburg Watershed in response to an infestation
of the
Hemlock Wooly Adelgid insect
The goal of the harvesting is to conserve the most critical aspects of the watershed forest while making room for change and new growth. Lead by local forester Lincoln Fish, this will be an educational hike through the old Unquomonk Reservoir watershed. Lincoln will discuss the role of forest management practices in response to the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid infestation in this area. Lincoln Fish has been a consulting forester in Western MA for 26 years. His knowledge of these woodlands provides a rare opportunity to learn about this important town resource. All are welcome.
