SUMMARY:Loving the Land Through Working Forests - Forestry Walk
DESCRIPTION:Robert Crawford Memorial Forest\, near Edinboro\, PA \n\n\n\n\n\nThis year’s Loving the Land Through Working Forests event will scale back from its usual conference format and is offering a free guided walk at a 282-acre forest acquired by FSF earlier this year. \n\n\n\nOn Saturday\, September 19th\, FSF will host a forestry walk at our newly conserved Robert Crawford Memorial Forest near Edinboro in Erie County\, PA. Forester Guy Dunkle will lead us through a recent timber harvest\, providing information about tree selection\, forest pests\, and forest changes over time. We’ll also discuss the relationship between historical land use / past timber harvests and the conditions we see today. \n\n\n\nThe walk will include uneven terrain and mud; please dress accordingly. Bring a water bottle if you can\, but water bottles and snacks will be provided\, too. \n\n\n\nDriving directions are available below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.
