Managed Forest Field Trip
on Saturday, September 18, 2010
at 9 am.
The field trip will be at the Joyce property in St. Germain,
WI where we discuss all aspects of a managed forest from entry into the
program to the first cutting and beyond. The property was
logged under the Managed Forest program for the first time last October 2009.
We will inspect the
results and contrast the difference with adjoining properties
one which was not cut in the last 90 years and another that was
cut in the last 15 years. Directions: From St. Germain
take 70 west to county C. Right on county C to Joyce road (about
2.5 miles). Right on Joyce road to end. To get an idea how many
will attend, please email
partnersinforestry@gmail.com or call 715-479-8528
Climate Change and Our Forests at
Rhinelander Nicolet College Theatre at 7:30 p.m.,
Tuesday, September 14
Forests define Wisconsin's Northwoods. They purify the
air, provide vital wildlife habitat and yield numerous
goods and services upon which our society depends. But
how might our forests respond to a changing climate? And
what are the implications for the future? Forest
ecologist Dr.
Geoffrey Parkersheds some light on the subject when
he talks about the amazing findings of his 22 years of
research studying the forests of the eastern United
States. Parker is a Senior Scientist with the Smithsonian
Environmental Research Center. After measuring more
than 20,000 trees, he found that beyond a doubt trees
are growing faster today than at any time during the
past 200 years. Parker will share his thoughts and
findings at a special lecture in the Nicolet College
Theatre at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, September 14. The lecture
is part of the Hamilton Roddis Memorial Lecture Series
and the Nicolet Live Arts & Speakers Series. It is
co-sponsored by the Kemp Natural Resources Station,
Nicolet College and the Hamilton Roddis Foundation. Admission
is free and no pre-registration is necessary.
