A Stocking giftTo the gentleman who received a subscription to Tree Farmer Alerts as a stocking gift:You are fortunate to have such a caring family member. The most prevalent complaint that we hear from active Tree Farmers is: Many of the threats causing the most damage in our forests are landscape in size and will require forest landowners to work together if we expect to significantly improve the situation. We need to do everything we can to encourage ALL forest landowners to do their part. Setting a good example on your own property is vital but may not be enough to get your neighbor started. So, we offer additional methods to help you reach out to your neighbors. Our website, www.treefarmer.com, has tons of information on practical and effective management techniques. Our email newsletter, Tree Farmer Alerts, provides breaking news regarding forestry issues, management tips, and notices of upcoming meetings and events. We will be happy to speak to your neighbors at Road Association, Landowner Association, and other community meetings. Our local Tree Farm groups offer opportunities to talk with experts, share information with other forest managers, and tour well run properties to see the effects of active forest management first hand. Our New YouTube ChannelAnd most recently, we have opened our own YouTube channel where we will develop and show a series of short introductory videos on topics of specific interest to all forest landowners. In order to insure that these videos are practical and useful to small forest landowners we'd like to collaborate with active Tree Farmers, professional foresters, and forestry contractors. If you have an idea for a video or, better yet, would like to develop a video with us, please contact stumpmaker@gmail.comSo, enjoy your stocking gift and, in the spirit of the season, please share with your neighbors.

It is still far from certain that China will acquiesce.) Submitted by ______________________________________ Outstanding ServiceTony Mahon, Summit Forestry, has worked in our area west of Loveland many times over the past years. We do not hesitate to recommend him and his crew, having used him and his crews several times, ourselves. He is equipped to remove trees for wildfire mitigation, fuel breaks, defensible space, etc. His chipper handles bigger trees as well as slash, and he can winch logs out of difficult areas. Experience and knowledge lets him recognize potential forest problems and suggest ways to efficiently improve a forest stand. He will do as little or as much as a landowner wishes. We have been completely satisfied with Summit Forestry’s work each time. Larimer County Tree Farmers Tony Mahon, Summit Forestry
