of the big projects for the spring semester of 2014 was to repair the
Suicide Ridge trail. This involved major regrading of the tread and the
installation of many rolling grade dips to get water off of the trail.
The Forestry Crew did an excellent job with the work and it is now much
improved!</span></span><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638182725845411652.post-77561376773890240722014-04-07T10:41:00.000-11:002014-04-07T10:41:04.823-11:00Service Project for Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This semester the Warren Wilson Forestry Crew continued doing service projects on the Community Farm of the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy. The crew conducted removal of Virginia pine as part of a shortleaf pine restoration project, in addition to trail repair and step installation.

<br />
After taking a several-year break, the Forestry Crew resumed their annual mill tour on the morning of Work Day. The crew traveled to Marion, NC to tour Oak Valley Hardwoods.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFg0jVDFzg3eY80f6DUKVt-6cypzQi_tORi6ljq-l7utJPdQusoDYLgJHfMDcxZd945MFR00w8pGoxv-zlFTw1v9t5yJTTgLFpqGLy1RxWfuYz0gSXyDlOoY7DeEcS5RCpxYANEoZfBAlC/s1600/IMG_2123.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFg0jVDFzg3eY80f6DUKVt-6cypzQi_tORi6ljq-l7utJPdQusoDYLgJHfMDcxZd945MFR00w8pGoxv-zlFTw1v9t5yJTTgLFpqGLy1RxWfuYz0gSXyDlOoY7DeEcS5RCpxYANEoZfBAlC/s1600/IMG_2123.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The mill was an opportunity to see a lumber operation on a very different scale from the one that the crew participates in here at WWC. By mid-morning Oak Valley had already produced twice the board footage than the crew produces in a year.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
However, while the operations are different in scale, the crew witnessed industrial operations in all of the same activities they do as a crew, including debarking, milling, stacking, and drying lumber, as well as sharpening bandsaw blades.<br />

After the tour the crew had brunch at the Blue Ridge Biscuit Company in Black Mountain.<br />

This resulted in a second place finish out of thirteen schools, missing an automatic bid to return to the National Championship for the second year in a row.

On February 26 Dr. Patrick Angel, senior forester and soil scientist in the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and
Enforcement for the U.S. Department of the Interior, visited the Warren Wilson Forestry Program. He began the day as a guest lecturer in Forest Director Dave Ellum's Forest Management class, explaining his work with
the Appalachian Regional Reforestation Initiative using American

The first step in inoculation is to drill holes 5" apart in a diamond pattern around the log. These holes are filled with mushroom spawn, a sawdust medium that is colonized with the mycelium of the fungus. <br />

establishing the Irene Pennington Broyles and Glenn Boone Broyles
Fellowship, in order to help preserve and manage the Warren Wilson
College Forest in perpetuity.<br />
<br />
Irene Broyles, a Somerset, Ky., resident who had survived her
husband, Glenn, made the gift before her passing on Nov. 14. She served
as librarian at Somerset High School for 32 years, and the couple owned
and operated a tree farm in Kentucky for many years. Glenn’s brother,
Boyd, and Boyd’s wife, Edith, were partners too in the farm that
received numerous environmental awards. Irene Broyles was a 1939
graduate of Dorland-Bell School in Hot Springs, N.C., which merged with
the Asheville Farm School in 1942 to form what eventually became the
four-year Warren Wilson College in 1967.<br />
<br />
The Broyles Fellowship will recognize and support the College Forest
director – currently Sustainable Forestry Professor David Ellum, Ph.D. –
in using innovative methods of teaching students in forestry, and in
conducting research in sustainable forestry, forest management, forest
science and forest policy. It also will assist the director’s
supervision of Warren Wilson College students concentrating their
studies in sustainable forestry and academic fields related to
preservation of the College Forest.<br />
<br />
“The college is thrilled to receive this generous gift from Irene
Broyles establishing the Broyles Fellowship,” Warren Wilson College
President Steven L. Solnick said. “The fellowship will help ensure the
preservation of the College Forest, and greatly benefit not only our
current students, but also those for generations to come.”<br />
<br />
Warren Wilson’s 1,130-acre campus includes 625 acres of managed
forest. The college has a strong academic program in sustainable
forestry within its Environmental Studies Department, as well as a
forestry work crew, one of more than 100 student work crews at Warren
Wilson.<br />
<br />
“Education is the No. 1 natural resource produced by the College
Forest,” David Ellum said. “This gift will not only help us to use the
best science to protect the ecological integrity of the forest; it also
will provide incredible opportunities for our Triad education of
academics, work and service that involves students in all aspects of the
forest’s stewardship.<br />
“Mrs. Broyles’ generosity will leave a positive and longstanding mark on our students and our forest.”<br />
<br />
Irene Broyles had further connections to Warren Wilson College and
its forerunners. Two of her four brothers were Asheville Farm School
alumni; one sister was a Dorland-Bell alumna, the other attended the
school; and a grandniece currently attends Warren Wilson.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638182725845411652.post-87335552283940772142013-12-03T05:12:00.000-11:002013-12-03T05:12:50.252-11:00Black Cohosh Medicinal TinctureThe WWC Forestry Crew is in the process of making their second FDA approved medicinal tincture made in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices.

The students of the Black Locust Crew of the Evergreen Charter Community School toured the lumberyard operations of the Warren Wilson Forestry Crew this past week. They delivered some black locust logs to the crew, who in turn milled the logs into dimensional lumber and delivered it to the school. The Black Locust Crew will be building a firewood shed with the lumber to dry wood for future campouts.

On November 2 the Forestry Crew held their annual Firewood Day. All full-time staff and faculty who reply by the deadline are eligible to receive a portion of hardwood firewood. The crew distributed firewood to a record number of more than 70 recipients. As usual, it was also a great time for the crew to spend time together with other members of the Warren Wilson community. <br />

The Forestry Crew drives on a route through the Craggy Mountains on the Blue Ridge Parkway recording bat calls twice each summer. Each species of bat has a specific call signature. By recording the calls wildlife biologists can know how many bats of each species are located along the route. By recording calls before White-Nose Syndrome came to the North Carolina mountains, a baseline was established. As the disease affects populations along the route recordings of these calls allow an understanding for which species are being affected, and to what extent.<br />

<b>We are delighted that we had the 6th best collegiate lumberjack in
the nation in our program’s inaugural year. It has truly been a
Cinderella season. We have learned much about the equipment necessary to
be successful and have been gathering invaluable training tips so that
we can hit it hard when we resume in the fall. Thanks to all of you who
made the drive to cheer for Caleb and for the support of the WWC

Unfortunately, the new sawmill would not fit under the existing mill shed. The shed roof needed to be dismantled in order to be replaced by a gable roof. The crew took down the existing timber frame on one side, milled new posts, and did the timber frame joinery needed to re-erect the frame.<br />

The crew works in collaboration with the Stream Monitoring Information Exchange, an organization that indirectly measures water quality by capturing, identifying, and counting benthic invertebrates. If the right number of these invertebrates are in the river, coupled with the presence of some indicator species, then the water quality is good and the river is healthy. <br />

One such project has been with the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy, working to create habitat for the Golden-Winged Warbler by clearing areas on Little Hump Mountain in the Highlands of Roan. Chris Coxen, the Field Ecologist for the Conservancy, has spotted two males singing in the areas where the Forestry Crew has worked over the previous two years. We are very excited to see our work pay dividends in such a short time period!<br />

The Forestry Crew carried out a crown thinning in early 2013 in a small pine plantation on Jones Mountain. This thinning was designed to create gaps (shown below) into which dominant white pine trees left in the stand could expand and grow, thereby becoming more valuable timber trees (as well as being larger and more aesthetically pleasing). Crew members cut the trees as part of a chainsaw training earlier in the year, and have been pulling saw logs out of the stand using a tractor and winch system. Once all the saw logs are out, the Horse Crew will help drag the logs to Warren Wilson Road, where Landscaping Crew will help transport them to the mill.<br />
<br />
The stand will also serve as an educational tool for silviculture classes, and will be shown as a working model of the effects of a crown thinning. </div>
