Today was a busy day at the club our forester, Kelly and her assistant Hunter, were hard at work starting at 6:30 am and working in 4 degree temps. They are assessing and reviewing our forested areas and will update our 5 year plan for NYDEC. The club’s forestry program was started in 1993 and has saved the club a significant amount of tax dollars over the years.

One side note Kelly informed me that the club has quite a number of ash trees that are dead from the ash beetle infestation and the ash trees that are still alive will soon succumb to the infestation. Very sad to see these trees killed by the invasive species.
