On July 24 the 2024 Forests of New Hampshire Teacher Tour kicks off in Grafton County. This professional development opportunity for educators is organized, promoted, and hosted by N.H. Project Learning Tree Coordinator Jenn Scarinza and NHTOA Program Director Cheri Birch, with assistance and financial support from the N.H. Sustainable Forestry Initiative State Implementation Committee (SIC). Financial support is also provided by grant awards from the Adelard A. and Valeda Lea Roy Foundation and the Northeastern Loggers’ Association.
Over the next three days participants will learn about forest and natural resource management from professionals at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest; Quincy Bog; an active timber harvest with forester Shaun Lagueux, New England Forestry Consultants; the Durgin & Crowell Lumber (eastern white pine) sawmill; and the Tomapo Farm (tree farm and maple sugaring operation in Lebanon).
