Black locust trees offer a wide range of benefits and opportunities, making them an excellent choice for active management rather than a "plant and forget" option. Their high-density wood is one of the most rot-resistant materials available in the Northeast, making it ideal for applications such as fence posts, trellises, and other weather-exposed projects. Untreated locust wood is also highly valued in regenerative agriculture and serves as exceptional firewood. Participants in this workshop will learn about managing locust stands within a forest ecosystem and explore potential market opportunities. The format is a peer-to-peer learning experience where a host farmer shares their insights and experiences as a land steward. Attendees will benefit from a farm and forest tour, discussions on locust management, non-timber forest products, and forest restoration efforts.
