Megan Offner spent 10 years living in New York City and working in various construction and design trades before moving to Warwick, NY to found New York Heartwoods – a community-based sawmill that produces quality local lumber from “waste” trees.

MEGAN will lead participants on a trail walk through the forest. Here, participants will learn TREE IDENTIFICATION by TUNING INTO TREES, HEARING THEIR MESSAGES. What do we have to LEARN FROM OUR FORESTS? Understanding signs of vigor and disease/decline. Identifying forest stressors. Discussing solutions. WHAT TO DO WITH A DYING TREE? Wood properties for various species. Forest edibles/foraging. Prayer.
