People own forests and woodlands for a variety of reasons, including wildlife viewing, hunting, recreation, and income from timber. However, poor management, invasive plants, insects, and diseases can threaten these activities. To help woodland owners, Purdue Extension is hosting a Forest Management for the Private Woodland Owner; this class will provide knowledge and resources to help landowners make informed decisions in the care and management of their forests.
Topics covered include tree identification, forest history and biology, forest management planning, forest management practices, considerations for selling timber, forest investment and taxation, wildlife habitat management, and resources and assistance for private woodland owners.
The Class will be held at the Bremen Public Library, 304 North Jackson Street in Bremen on Thursday evenings from March 6th to May 1st excluding April 17. Classes are from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. ET. There will be two Saturday field tours to local forests as well.
Registration cost is $50 per person and includes: in-person time with forestry specialists, all course materials, a thumb drive of all publications, a tree measuring stick and snacks. Guest registration in addition to initial registration is $30 and includes all learning sessions and handouts at the sessions.
