Welcome to the Forest Stewards Guild

Southeast Region Meeting and Collins Pine, California Guild Gathering successes!

The Forest Stewards Guild, our partners at the Duke Forest at Duke University, and Guild members David Schnake and Dave Halley held a regional meeting on the theme of innovative hardwood silviculture in the southern Piedmont, including short-leaf pine management.

Partners and members of Collins Pine Company in California hosted this year's final Guild Gathering on the books. A rich collection of discussion topics allowed attendees to learn new perspectives on multi-age management. Future California Guild Gatherings are desired, and thoughts were shared about how we can assess the effects of climate change through future, replicate treatments.

Thanks for making these gatherings an enjoyable success!

Zander Evans, Guild Executive Director as of October 1, 2017
