New England Forestry Foundation (NEFF) will be conducting a sustainable, climate-smart timber harvest beginning this week at our Prouty Woods Community Forest, located behind NEFF headquarters in Littleton, MA. A licensed forester who has worked with NEFF for years has selected individual trees for harvesting, and is in the process of getting necessary equipment on the ground. NEFF will post updates about the harvest timeline to their blog post.
We anticipate the harvest to take roughly two months, during which the property and trails will be closed to the public.
This is a precautionary measure to keep NEFF’s visitors safe. We are also taking steps to minimize soil disruption and trail impacts.
