A presentation by Roger Boyer and Jason Lyle

At over 800,00 acres, the WMNF is the largest area of publicly owned land in New England. This presentation will address the mission of the Forest Service and the drivers behind forest management on the Forest. With a focus on conservation, timber harvesting is used to create diversity of habitats and a sustainable yield of high-quality forest products. We will delve into the why and how of these practices on the WMNF.
