An in-the-woods Educational Event
Whether you own a home in the woods or many acres of land, this “out-in-the-woods” educational event is packed with practical “how-to” information that you need to know.
Stewarding land is both rewarding and challenging. Successful management is due to the decisions you make and the actions you take. Attending the Forest and Range Owners Field Day will prepare you to plan and execute sound practices, enabling you to accomplish your management objectives, reduce risks, and protect your financial investment.
This event will include classes and activities led by experts in forest and range health, wildlife habitat, grazing, soils, fire protection, and timber and non-timber forest products. Presenters will be available to answer questions specific to your needs and situation. Youth activities are available throughout the day! Come join the more than 20,000 satisfied families who have already experienced these Field Day events across the state. If you think forests and range lands are vital to the quality of life in Washington and Idaho, please share this information.
