Forest management is a way to get the most out of your forest, whether your goals are increasing timber value, wildlife habitat, beauty and recreation, or just having a healthy forest. Effective forest management starts with a plan!
This workshop will cover how managers and landowners can set goals for their forests, what programs are available to assist in forest management planning, understanding a forest management plan and its recommended practices, and a discussion on the trends and issues facing forests in northwestern Illinois. The day will end with a tour of a managed forest.
This workshop will be useful for any forest manager whether you are just thinking about starting to manage your forest or you already have a plan in place.
University of Illinois Extension provides equal opportunities in programs and employment. If you need reasonable accommodations to participate in this program, please call (815) 235-4125.
