Intern sought for ensiled tree foliage research project at 3 Streams Farm in Belfast, Maine

Posted at the request of Shana Hanson:

Working guests invited, and a paid helper would also be welcome, for innovative SARE FNE22-013 tree and shrub leaf harvest along field edges, mostly at MOFGA in Unity, Maine.  Skill with chainsaw and pole chainsaw is helpful, but not required.   The new leaf separator machine makes aromatic tree silages for cattle, sheep and goats, from leafy brush.  Bare branches come out the other side, where a chipper could be placed to receive them (does anyone have a large chipper to place there, to rent or loan?).  Call (207) 338-3301 and leave voicemail, with your phone number and best times to call you back.
