Forest Management For The Private Woodland Owner
Workshop Information
Forests cover nearly 20%of Indiana, and approximately 85%is in private ownerships
like farms and families. Less than 20% of those owners have a forest management plan to
guide them in the sustainable management of their property. Forests provide multiple
ecologic, economic, and societal benefits, but may not be realizing their potential due to poor
or no management activity, and threats like invasive plant species and pests. Indiana
forests also support an important forest products industry, employing thousands of
people and supporting many rural communities. Private forest land owners are
often unaware of the resources and assistance available to them for realizing their property
management goals.
Forest Management for the Private Woodland Owner provides 8 evening indoor sessions and
2 field tours providing information on the biology and management of Indiana
woodlands. Instruction is provided by Purdue Extension specialists and natural resource
professionals.
The workshop will be held Wednesdays, from 6:00-9:00 PM EST, from March 8 to April 26,
2023 at the
