Description

Do you own land in Aitkin County? Do you wonder if you are achieving its full potential? The Aitkin Area Private Woodlands Group is excited to announce an opportunity for private landowners to learn more about their forests and ways they can manage them to help achieve their goals. A woodland owner workshop will be held Friday, October 25th at Long Lake Conservation Center in Palisade. This event seeks to help landowners better understand their property and how it fits into the landscape by connecting them to resources and providing education and motivation to take action. The cost for this event is $10, which includes lunch.

There will be 3-4 presentations in the morning centered on topics like resources for woodland owners, woodland management for wildlife habitat and forest health. After lunch, we will go on a walking tour of the forests at LLCC and beyond to see first-hand how woodlands can be managed to increase wildlife, recreation, water quality, and timber harvesting values. We will be outdoors and walking for most of the afternoon, so please plan to dress accordingly.
