Winter can be a rewarding time to enhance your naturalist’s skills in the woods! 

Things slow down, but while trees are in dormancy, so much about their contributions to the forest can be revealed.  Whether you’re a seasoned naturalist or just beginning to explore the wonders of winter forests, this experience will deepen your appreciation for the complex, interconnected world around us. You’ll learn to identify different tree species, recognize signs of wildlife, and understand the dynamic history and ecology of the forest. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with nature and expand your knowledge with Bob Davis, an authority on forestry and land stewardship.

Our distinguished local forests play a vital role in sustaining the landscapes that make the Hudson Valley a beautiful place to live. This event is sure to deepen your appreciation for the lands that make our region special. We look forward to seeing you there!


About Bob Davis, CEO, Winnakee Land Trust

As CEO of Winnakee, Bob brings a forester’s perspective to the land trust community and translates the importance of active stewardship and sustainable forest management to traditional land conservation. With over 35 years of experience in government, consulting, academia, and now non-profit land protection and stewardship, Davis offers an in-depth and yet uniquely broad, 360-degree perspective on the conservation of family forest legacies. His career has focused on the long-term sustainable management of forests for the continued provision of their critical ecosystem services. Most recently, as Director of Forest Properties at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Davis oversaw a team of professionals responsible for the management of over 26,000 acres of forest land. Prior to joining ESF, Bob managed a consulting firm, Forestry Advisors, LLC, which he founded in 2000, to assist public and private forest landowners to practice sustainable forestry. Bob launched his career with NYSDEC in the Hudson Valley. He is a graduate of SUNY-ESF in Forest Resource Management and holds an MS in Forest Ecosystem Science. In his free time, you will find Bob walking the woods to unravel how today’s forests have evolved and how to help build their resilience for the future.
