In The Spirit Of Aldo Leopold

NALMC and the Friends of Northwood Meadows State Park invite you to a Leopold Bench Building Workshop Saturday, October 1st, at the NALMC kiosk at Harmony Hill Farm in Northwood.

The essence of Leopold’s Land Ethic is connecting people to people, and connecting people to the land.  The sturdy, comfortable benches we will build embrace these values, as we work together for the benefit of the community.  The hemlock trees we will use were donated and cut from the NALMC neighborhood.  Benches will be placed at the Northwood Town Hall, the Chesley Memorial Library and Northwood Meadows State Park, for all to use.

• 9 am - Sawmill demonstration: Jesse Matras will show how a pile of freshly cut trees can be turned into lumber

• 10 am - Steve Winchester, local woodworker, will then demonstrate construction of the benches from raw lumber. 

• 11 – 2 pm - Workshop attendees will have the opportunity to work together to construct several benches.  By the afternoon, the yard will be full of benches ready for placement in their new homes next spring.

All are welcome to join us for this fun and informational community-based workshop on Saturday, October 1st from 9 am to 2 pm.   You will need to bring work gloves, a hammer, a picnic lunch, water, and a lawn chair if you think you might want a place to sit before the benches are ready. 

For more information, please call Kim Paradis at 664-7744.
