UPPER DELAWARE RIVER REGION – On Friday, June 5 from 10am-1pm, join Austin Noguera, Service Forester with the PA-DCNR, and Steven Gosch, Stewardship Coordinator with Delaware Highlands Conservancy, for a Walk and Talk beginning at the Delaware State Forest District Office.

For those considering a timber harvest as part of a property's long-term management strategy or those interested in learning more about what goes into a timber sale, attendees will explore timber management planned on approximately 208 acres of adjacent forested land. The tour will visit select stands where techniques such as shelterwood cuts and overstory removal are planned while highlighting how trees are marked for sale, how management will support long-term forest health and species diversity, and how the harvest will provide opportunities for public education.
