Post-Conference Tour

Come along as we head north into the beautiful state of Vermont

Thursday, 27-Sep-12 to Saturday, 29-Sep-12

Join us as we head north into Vermont for the quintessential New England experience.  We’ll visit with a private woodland owner or two; stop at a community forest, where individuals and families buy shares of a managed forest and then access its resources, from timber to trails; eat and drink of Vermont’s finest; and hopefully see some beautiful fall foliage along the way.
