Forestry Mower This is the fastest & most efficient way to clear land. (No chipping, chainsaws, or laborers.) It can be used to clear overgrown fields, hiking trails, views, building sites, wildlife habitat improvement, control of invasive plants and eliminate brush piles. Being on rubber tracks this machine has a very low ground pressure resulting in minimal ground disturbance especially in sensitive work areas. All cut material is mulched up & returned to the soil which feeds the soil & reduces erosion.

OCT 5 - Moby Dick , 7:00 pm. 518-822-1438. https://hudsonhall.org/moby-dick/. A work of immense detail, charismatic characters and revenge, Gare St Lazare Ireland’s adaptation compresses Melville’s epic novel into a daringly original production directed by Judy Hegarty Lovett. Hailed by the Irish Times as a brilliant “distillation of Melville’s genius,� starring the acclaimed Irish actor Conor Lovett and with live musical accompaniment by 10-string fiddler Caoimhin O’Raghallaigh, this unforgettable one-man show makes Moby Dick as relevant today as when it was written.
