A Boscawen, New Hampshire couple have been honored as the 2021 Outstanding Tree Farmers of the Year by the state’s tree farm program, reports the Associated Press.
According to the report, Charles and Mabel Niebling bought their 67-acre tree farm in 2001.
Since 2003, the farm has been under a forest management program that focuses on maintaining and improving the quality of the timber and forest products, protecting the water quality of wetlands and riparian zones, providing a recreational resource, conserving native plant species, and creating a diverse range of wildlife habitats. In addition to these goals, the farm is managed to maintain soil productivity, and to protect fragile and unique natural land.
The Tree Farm program states that their four pillars are recreation, water, wildlife, and wood.
