| Oct 10 Halifax County Fall Forestry & Wildlife Field Tour |
| On this tour of Halifax County in south central Virginia, we'll learn about agro-forestry, loblolly pine management, and exotic invasives. We'll end the day with a tour of a wood products manufacturing facility. Stop 1: Edmunds Farms - Growing Trees and Grasses? Take a peek at silvopasture which pairs grazing livestock with growing trees. Stop 2: Graves Family Farms. On this privately-owned Tree Farm we?ll look at the differences between released and unreleased pine seedlings planted in a clearcut. We'll also learn about the benefits of prescribed fire and how it can be used as a management tool for bobwhite quail. The stop will finish up with a discussion of invasive plants - their impacts and how to control them. Lunch: Southern-style buffet with all the fixins. Stop 3: Forest Health. Witness first-hand the devastation caused by the exotic invasive insect the emerald ash borer. Current Virginia Tech research on controlling this pest will be presented. Stop 4: Huber Engineered Woods. See where some of the pine being grown in Southside ends up. On a tour of this facility, we will learn how oriented strand board (OSB) is made (and what OSB is, if you don?t know). We will have a discussion about the advanced technologies used to make this highly useful product. |
