Field Trip to Bill and Ann Self's Property

Five members of the council, John Creed, Brad Nail, Allison Cochran, Andy Baril, and Mike Henshaw, visited the Self property as a possible site for a landowner tour.  Unfortunately, the weather was very wet and we were limited on how much of the property we could visit.  We discussed possible agenda items for the tour and will need to visit the property again, but it is obvious that it will be a very good site for a landowner tour.  Please be thinking of timely agenda topics and speakers that could address them.  We are considering topics such as shortleaf pine, privet control, timber markets, and BMP's related to water quality.  Thanks to Bill Self for braving the poor weather to show us part of the property.
