About the Event

Learn how to care for trail tools and help keep the tool library in sharp shape! Join Southeast Land Trust's (SELT) trails manager, Yohann, and Extension staff to learn how to maintain hand tools including sharpening, handle care, reconditioning tool heads and more. If you have a personal tool that could use some love you can bring that along and our experts can provide advice or suggestions on care. Help care for these important stewardship tools and learn how (and what tools are needed) for you can care for your own!

Women in the Woods is a collaboration between UNH Cooperative Extension, NH Timberland Owners Association, the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, and other partners aimed at connecting women forest landowners, managers, and stewards with the resources, skills, and community they need to make informed stewardship decisions that promote healthy forest resources. 

Women in the Woods is open to all participants, regardless of gender or sex.

What to bring

Sturdy shoes, water, work gloves and safety glasses (we will have extras if needed). And a well-loved personal tool for a tune up!

Youth Instructions

Youth volunteers are welcome to attend but must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
