Join us for the 2026 Fox Valley Woodland Owner’s Conference from 7:30AM-1PM at La Sure’s Banquet Hall in Oshkosh, WI. We’ll start the morning with a hot breakfast and update from your local WDNR forest health specialist. Next up, we have two presentations about woodland invasive species management and timber sales contracts with a coffee/doughnut break in between. After our final break of the morning, we’ll look at how to grow tree seedlings in your woods and hold a panel discussion on deer browse. 

We’ve got a great lineup of speakers and topics to help kick off the new year. Please share the details with a neighbor, register ASAP, and we will see you in February!
