On September 23rd, 2023, we toured the Schoelier property near St. Mary’s. We lucked out with the weather and were treated to a beautiful day for a walk around the property, and an excellent tour led by Nathan Schoelier.
Nathan showed the group forest reforestation projects including trees that were planted 20 years ago. We also got the opportunity to see a recent wetland restoration project, and learned about ways to control invasive species including dog-strangling vine and buckthorn. To finish off the tour, we saw the sawmill and kiln-dried hardwood though the Pine Acres Custom Milling, also located at the Schoelier property, where they produce beautiful live-edge, and dimensional hardwood lumber.
Thank you to Nathan, and the Schoelier family for this wonderful tour!
