The Dummerston Conservation Commission is excited to have Vermont Land Trust lead forester Pieter Van Loon speak at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 27, provisionally to be held at the Dummerston Community Center.

Pieter will discuss his work over the past 23 years helping owners of conserved land care for their land. This will be a open and interactive conversation about such issues as rogue ATV use, invasive insects and plants, managing forests for carbon, overabundance of deer, promoting old forest characteristics in second growth forests and any other issues you may have an interest in. Bring Pieter your questions about managing your own land!

Suggested donation is $5, which is split equally between the Community Center and Dummerston Conservation Commission.
