County forester presents woodlot walk

NEWFANE — Join County Forester Bill Guenther on a twilight walk on his property up on Bensch Mountain in Newfane and learn the As to Zs of firewood.

On Thursday July 25, from 5:30 until about 7 p.m., Guenther will recap this past winter's logging activities, which focused on harvesting trees near his house. Discussion will touch on how homeowners might heat their homes directly from wood harvested on their own land.

He'll also cover methods for processing firewood that were discussed when he hosted the 2006 Woodland Owner's Association annual meeting.

According to Guenther, heating with wood can save landowners hundreds of dollars, and make their woodlands more productive and healthy.
