New Hunting & Angling Workshop Series Kicks Off

2018-08-15T10:54:16-04:00August 15th, 2018|Education, Highlights, News|

NorthWoods Stewardship Center (NWSC) and the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Conservation Group (VFWCG) are excited to announce Modern Traditions in Hunting and Angling, a workshop series kicking off this September. The upcoming workshops give equal weight to “the old ways” – traditions in hunting and angling that include a deep connection with the land and wildlife – as well as a modern approach and understanding of the role that hunting and fishing have in conservation and our communities today.

This past weekend we hosted our annual spring Game of Logging workshop at NorthWoods. The Game of Logging (GOL) is a chainsaw skills and safety training curriculum developed in the 1960s by Swedish logger and instructor Soren Eriksson, focusing on small hands-on group learning and friendly competition to instill successful chainsaw techniques, felling strategies and safety practices. GOL is one of the most popular adult workshops we host, with multiple yearly workshops nearly always selling out well in advance of the event. GOL can only be taught by certified instructors, [Read More...]

How long has it been since you’ve dug your hands into the dirt or looked deep into the cavity of a rotten tree? At the Project Learning Tree Educators Workshop, hosted by NorthWoods and the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation this October, adults explored these childhood pastimes from a new vantage point. We dug far enough into the dirt that a story unfolded about the geologic history and the land use patterns throughout the NorthWoods property. It made sense that a forest tour would begin with an investigation into [Read More...]

Women Can Do 2013

2016-12-13T19:12:16-05:00November 14th, 2013|Conservation Corps, Education, News|

This year, as we have done for the past two years, Cody and I shared the pleasures and pitfalls of working with chainsaws with about 60 girls who will be Vermont’s next generation of fierce workforce women. This year, to our surprise and delight, the weather was perfect - crisp enough that we knew it was fall, but sunny enough that we could get away with wearing t-shirts. On the beautiful Old Dorm Green at Vermont Technical College, Cody and I set up our saw horses and pole-sized logs, and waited for our students to appear. [Read More...]
