N.C. Tree Farm Program Annual Meeting
June 10, 2023 @ 9:30 am - 2:30 pm
Join us on June 10 for the N.C. Tree Farm Program’s Annual Meeting. This year, Montgomery Community College’s Forest Management Technology Program in
Troy will host our event. Established in 1986 to meet the need for natural resource professionals to manage the forests and wood supply in the local area, MCC’s forest management program offers a two-year associate’s degree as well as certification and licensing in geographic information systems, forest recreation, wildland fire fighting and pesticides. Students’ training includes managing the on-campus forest for soil and water conservation, forest health, wildlife and income to support the educational program.
The 2023 Annual Meeting will feature a presentation on the use of drones in forest management and a tour of the college’s 120-acre forest where they train the next generation of forestry professionals. After the tour, we’ll enjoy lunch and recognize Tree Farm anniversaries, the Inspector of the Year and the Outstanding Tree Farmer of the Year.
