Fall Forestry Tour

Our Forestry Board sponsors a fall tour at a local Tree Farm or a property of interest in our region.  The tour is open to all Calvert forest landowners and usually includes presentations from foresters as well as tree farmers. Most tours are very active and involve walking to look at examples of different management techniques. It’s a great way to meet fellow forest owners and share experiences.

The tour is well attended and enjoyed by all who participate. Past tour sites, dates, and themes are listed below:
