Many landowners value their forest but are unprepared to manage it for future challenges. Others have begun planning but are uncertain what steps should be taken to assure maximum benefits for those that will inherit the land. This workshop is designed for landowners of all stripes and will be tailored to help you learn at an appropriate pace. Come learn about the many resources available to landowners for planning and forest management. Hear from a variety of speakers and have the chance to meet one on one with a forestry professional.

The event is free, register today! Lunch will be provided, but please RSVP. We will also provide maps for those landowners that RSVP and provide us with their property details.
