Bryan represents the Scammon Ridge Headwaters LLC which owns the 3,000-acre Scammon Ridge property. The EFIF seeks to demonstrate forest management approaches developed by the New England Forestry Foundation that utilize the best current forestry science to promote increased forest carbon, improved wildlife habitat, and long-term timber value.
