Women Owning Woodlands (WOW) engages and educates women in stewardship of the land by connecting them to resources, trusted professionals, and a community of other women.

Are you a woman who owns, cares for, or is interested in learning more about woodlands? You are invited to attend this event, which will highlight sustainable forestry, wildlife
habitat enhancement, and conservation practices.

 

Saturday, March 7, 2020 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Blue Heron Nature Center

Dr. Linda Rohleder will discuss the steps to developing an invasive species management plan for your property, teach you to identify some common invasive species in our forests, and review the benefits and drawbacks of different management techniques. She will share her experiences writing her own forest stewardship plan for her 13-acre woodlands and some of the challenges she is trying to address as she works to restore the biodiversity of the forest.


Bring your own lunch and a dessert or side dish to share! We’ll provide drinks and snacks.

One of the most important components of the reforestation plan is selecting the appropriate site preparation technique.

 

For landowners, donating a conservation easement is a way to protect places they love. It’s also a major financial decision. When landowners donate a conservation easement, they give up part of the value of their property — often their family’s biggest asset.

This is the second in a series of workshops for women woodland owners and natural resource professionals.
