Title: Black Locust Management and Market
Date: Saturday, Dec 13th, 2025
Time: 1 to 3 pm
Location: Hawk Meadow Farm - 5066 Mott Evans Rd, Trumansburg, NY 14886
Facilitator: Steve Sierigk, Farmer and Forest Land Manager

Description: Black locust trees offer a wide range of benefits and opportunities, making them an excellent choice for active management rather than a "plant and forget" option. Their high-density wood is one of the most rot-resistant materials available in the Northeast, making it ideal for applications such as fence posts, trellises, and other weather-exposed projects. Untreated locust wood is also highly valued in regenerative agriculture and serves as exceptional firewood. Participants in this workshop will learn about managing locust stands within a forest ecosystem and explore potential market opportunities. The format is a peer-to-peer learning experience where a host farmer shares their insights and experiences as a land steward. Attendees will benefit from a farm and forest tour as well as indoor discussions on locust management, non-timber forest products, and forest restoration efforts.
