Earlier this month we held the annual Land Steward Core Training at the Barbara C. Harris Conference Center in Greenfield, NH. Twenty-eight new land stewards went through the two day in-residence training to become full fledged Forest Society land stewards. This year's training went very smoothly, from the excellent facilities at B.C. Harris Center to our field trip exploration of the nearby Tom Rush Fores in Deering. New stewards learn about the Forest Society's history, mission and goals, management of SPNHF properties, trail maintenance, boundary monitoring, map and compass navigation, recreation management and sustainable timber harvesting. It's a very full two days! As you run into members of the "Class of 2012" at different workdays, workshops, and Forest Society events, be sure to welcome them and share your experiences stewarding a SPNHF forest reservation. For our part, we're very appreciative that all of you (both new and veteran stewards) are out there helping us steward NH's forests!
