Walk in the Woods
Saturday, August 27
12 PM
481 Krivak Road in Sharon

John Manchester and consulting forester Markus Bradley will co-lead the
Walk, which will take attendees on parts of Manchester’s property that
feature a recent logging operation of ash trees, examples of girdling of
pine trees, and some areas of generational planting. Attendees on the Walk
will also view a recently renovated pond on the property and a newly built
retention pond. The walk is expected to be about an hour long. There is
adequate parking at the property, and there will be signs to guide
attendees to the right site.
