Hello Members,
It's that time of year again; please mark your calendars for the upcoming WWSC AGM to be held on Saturday June 15th from 9:30 to 3:00 in West Northfield, Lunenburg County, at the West Northfield Community Hall.
This year we're starting the day off with a guided woodlot walk sharing the basics of forest ecosystems and forest management on one of our member's woodlot. In the afternoon, we will have an update on our wood heat conversion project looking at the feasibility of converting oil-based heat to sustainably sourced wood chip boiler heat in Western NS. To wrap up the day we will share the results of our brainstorming session from last year's AGM, have our business meeting and close with some door prizes and an exciting main prize draw!
The draft agenda will be as follows:
9:30 - 10:00: Registration, coffee/tea/morning snack, & conversation
