Woodsmen’s Team, Forestry Students to Volunteer for Belfast Wood Bank
A dozen students from the University of Maine Woodsmen’s Team and Society of American Foresters Student Chapter will volunteer their services for Maine’s newest wood bank in Belfast on Feb. 14.
At Maine Grilling Woods in Waldo, the students will help chop nine cords of firewood that was purchased through a fundraising effort by Waldo County Woodshed, a nonprofit that seeks to provide firewood to low-income residents.
The UMaine Woodsmen’s Team is a co-ed organization dedicated to maintaining the old woods skills and competing on the intercollegiate level in logging sports throughout the Northeast and Canada. The team has been a UMaine tradition for more than 40 years.
The Society of American Foresters is the national, scientific and educational organization representing the forestry profession in the United States. The student chapter at UMaine is dedicated to furthering professionalism, networking and the learning experience of forestry students and related majors.
