Sustainable Forestry Management
Monday, May 23, 2022 • 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Wedgewood Golf Center, 2131 Mountain Road, Halifax, VA
Sustainable forestry management can be a complex project, with the need to manage trees, wildlife, and the environment. In this workshop, we will discuss topics such as determining your management goals, working with forest professionals, timber sales and harvest, water quality, forest health, wildlife, and other unexpected factors. We will also provide information on USDA programs and services relating to forestry management, tree planting, and financial assistance. At the conclusion of the workshop, we will visit two forestry sites.
