The Forestry & Natural Resources students from Stafford Technical Center will once again be part of the festivities at the Vermont State Fair. The students will be demonstrating cutting logs into boards with their portable sawmill setup. In addition, they will also be constructing a portable skidder bridge for the Rutland Natural Resource Conservation District using the beams that they have cut, trimmed and drilled. Portable Skidder bridges ensure that equipment and logs crossing over water bodies are not causing stream bed or stream bank disturbance. These bridges minimize the potential for soil erosion. Come and see them near the Fair’s Forestry Building.
