model for timberland ownership and conservation. 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

wildlife habitat, and long-term timber value. A guided tour of the
property will follow the presentation.
Please RSVP for the guided tour so we can plan accordingly.
