Report on July 19 tour of Townsend’s Coburg Tree Farm
The Townsend family, 2024 National Outstanding Tree Farmers of the Year, hosted a tour and lunch of their tree farm on July 19, 2025 for about 70 guests. Four guides led small groups in different directions through the tree farm, showing and telling about their management activities. It was obvious to everyone that they were worthy recipients of the award!
Thanks to the entire Townsend family for organizing this event!
