History of Making Charcoal in Connecticut

This presentation is open to everyone interested in learning about the history of making charcoal in Connecticut. Master Naturalist Lance Hansen will present his research and discuss his project of creating a demonstration charcoal mound along the red/white trail in the Goodwin State Forest. After the presentation, we invite participants to take a hike to see the charcoal mound demonstration first hand. 

Lance Hansen is a Master Naturalist graduate, trail manager, Master Wildlife Conservationist, Farmington River Steward, town of Canton representative for the Farmington River Coordinating Committee, and an employee in the Wildlife Division at the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (amongst many other things).
