Waste or Resource?: A Panel Discussion on Wood Residue

Click for Flyer

featuring:

Ben Kargère (Williams College Student), Sean Mahoney (DCR), Emily Boss (Mass Woodlands Institute), Jay Healy (Hall Tavern Farm), and Andre Strong Bear Heart Gaines, Jr. (citizen of the Nipmuc people).

Wood residue is a low-value woody material, often a byproduct of utility and town roadway maintenance or from sawmill operations that cannot or should not be left in place. Ben Kargère will begin the discussion by sharing his research on wood residue and the possible ways it can bring economic and environmental benefit to the Partnership region. Our other panelists will bring their expertise on wood utilization, working with the local community to sustainably manage their forests, and firsthand experience from a local sawmill to guide the discussion and answer stakeholder questions.
