Family Forest Field Day
This “out-in-the-woods” learning opportunity is an annual event that attracts professionals from around the state to teach landowners about forest management in a hands-on setting. Multiple sessions are offered throughout the day, allowing you to pick the topics that interest you most. It also provides an opportunity to network with local organizations, professionals, and other landowners who can offer you advice and assistance for your forest projects.
Forest Stewardship Coached Planning
Forest Stewardship Coached Planning is the flagship course for small landowners and is put on in partnership by WSU Forestry Extension and the WDNR. Topics covered include silviculture, ecology, harvesting, thinning, wildilfe, special forest products mapping, soils, and much more. Through this series of classes, landowners are “coached” through the process of writing a forest management plan for their property based on their own management objectives. Your management plan is a key to accessing resources for small forest landowners in this area, such as reduced property taxes, cost-share assistance programs, and becoming a certified stewardship forest.
