Caring for Your Woods: A Half-Day, Hands-On Workshop for Landowners
This hands-on workshop offers a practical introduction to woodland stewardship. Walk the woods, learn what to look for on your land, and explore the basics of forest health and wildlife habitat. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of your woods and next steps you can take with confidence. Lunch included.
