Session 1: Invasive Plant Identification and Control – Wednesday 6-7:30 PM 9/27/23

Are you having problems identifying and/or controlling invasive plants on your property? If so, then this class is for you. We will describe the most problematic invasive plants for woodlands in Wisconsin and recommend ways to control them.

Session 2: Success with Tree Planting – Wednesday 6-7:30 PM 10/4/23

This session will identify what is needed to successfully plant and nurture new trees. Learn which trees will grow best on your land, how to prepare your land, techniques for planting, and how to care for newly planted trees.

Session 3: Assistance with Your Woods– Wednesday 6-7:30 PM 10/11/23

The creation of a healthy woodland requires knowledge of forestry techniques, and the investment of time and money. This session will link you to the people, programs and organizations that offer technical and financial assistance for all aspects of your woodland.  We will also take you through the beginning steps of woodland management.  Start by considering what is important to you, and learn what resources will be needed to make your vision a reality.

The cost is $15 to attend all three classes. Fees must be paid online by September 25 to attend the first week.  Additional instructions for logging in to the virtual classroom will be sent to the email used when registering.
