About This Event

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.

No prior experience or knowledge is needed—just curiosity and an interest in getting to know your land. Registration Required.
