CAMPUS NEWS AND HAPPENINGS

Timber Harvest at Pack Forest

The Adirondack Forest Properties staff is planning a timber sale at the Pack Demonstration Forest in Warrensburg, N.Y. This sale supports the NYS DEC Forest Ranger Training Academy, presently occurring at the Ranger School and the Huntington Forest. The trainees learn chainsaw techniques by felling, lopping, and limbing red and white pine stems on 6.4 acres at Pack Forest.


At the conclusion of the training, Forest Properties will contract with a local logger to remove the merchantable material and harvest any marked stems the trainees didn't have time to drop.


Questions? Please email Forest Properties Director Bob MacGregor.
