Join this panel discussion to learn about winter restoration techniques and how to use the conditions of the season to your advantage. Presenters Steven, Matt and Robb draw from a variety of experiences and will talk about techniques, helpful timelines, photo documentation, herbicide use and considerations, and winter brush burns. Equipment advice such as using brush hogs, chain saws, and even grant-funded excavators equipped with forestry mulchers will be covered. Presentations will focus primarily on shrub control for natural areas including fens, bogs, wet meadows and upland sites as well. Plenty of time will be allotted for Q&A and broader group discussion and sharing.
