EDWARDS Woodlot owners and the public are welcome to join a tour of Herb Bullock’s actively managed woodlot at 117 Campbell Rd on May 15.
Herb and Peter Smallidge, NYS Extension Forester & Director Cornell University Arnot Teaching and Research Forest, will lead the group and showcase the many management activities undertaken by Herb and his family. The event is sponsored by The New York Forest Owners Association.
Some of the topics include: impact of deer browsing on regeneration demonstrated at a deer exclosure; ash tree vaccination to halt the emerald ash borer; results of thinning cull trees; reforestation of white, red, burr and swamp oak; protection of plantings; and invasive shrub and fern management. Peter will also demonstrate how to conduct a simple field survey that uses plants as indicators of the severity of deer browsing.
