- Forestry teachers Al Schaeffer and Brian Bean recently partnered with the Western Foothills Land Trust to do some site clearing at the trust’s Roberts Farm Preserve site in Norway. The 165-acre preserve is close to the school and provides ongoing forestry management projects for the Oxford Hills Technical High School forestry program. This spring students were involved in two projects: Thinning a dense stand of pine near the preserve’s parking area and opening up an overgrown former pasture to the south of the Roberts’ farmhouse for the school’s garden program, administered by Pat Carson. Students also constructed raised vegetable beds and planted six apple trees.
