This workshop is designed for foresters and loggers and includes indoor presentations and an outdoor session at two field sites. The workshop will focus on the Fundamental BMPs with an emphasis on controlling the flow of water and minimizing/stabilizing exposed mineral soil. The content was developed by Maine SFI and the Maine Forest Service as a level one BMP training. The workshop is being offered at three locations during October 2021 and registration is limited to 25 per session.
