News and Events

Congratulations to Carl Wiedemann! CDC 2009 Chapter Service Award winner

Carl Wiedemann is the Capital District Chapter Award recipient for this year. Carl is our immediate Past Chair and continues to support the chapter and the state organization with dedication, enthusiasm and vision. Upon ending his term as Chair, he undertook the editor role of our newsletter and has made that an effective communication tool for our chapter. He also chairs the statewide Policy Committee.

            Over the past year, Carl has researched the impacts of high grading, diameter limit cutting and other exploitive harvesting practices. He proposed having NYFOA and New York Society of American Foresters to develop vision statements acknowledging that these practices are not sustainable forestry and that these organizations support sustainable forestry. This effort certainly supports the NYFOA mission and shows NYFOA as a leader in forestry in New York.

            Carl has also been involved in several presentations on forest history in New York and in the Adirondacks through power point presentations he has developed. Many thanks to Carl!
