What could be better than a bike ride through the countryside? One ending in a feast featuring local foods on a VLT conserved farm!

Sterling Forest Woods Walk

Saturday June 8, 2013; 9am-noon
Sterling Forest, Stowe

VLT-conserved Sterling Town Forest in Stowe is a demonstration site for forestry practices that integrate timber and songbird-habitat management. This is a great opportunity to meet with the project leaders to discuss goals and methods and see timber marked for a scheduled thinning. As a bonus, we'll enjoy the woods at the height of breeding season, full of birdsong.

This event is free, no registration is required. Meet at the Anderson home at 250 Sterling Gorge Road in Stowe. (As you come up Sterling Gorge Road, go over the bridge past the Sterling Gorge parking lot, and take the first driveway on your right.) Please wear sturdy walking shoes or boots.

Contact Tom Jackman, Stowe Planning Director (802) 253-2705 for more information.
