What? : Each year we at Virginia Cooperative Extension offer a number of landowner workshops that have topics of interest based on research and issues impacting our forestland to include invasive plant and insect species management, tree identification, and timber stand improvement techniques for hardwoods and pine. Partnering with state, federal and private expertise provides a reliable program the public has come to depend on. All classes have similar topics in nature.
When and Where? : Brunswick County (April 24) SVCC Alberta Campus, Bedford County (May 8) Claytor Nature Center and Halifax County (May 15) Halifax Extension Office. Detailed classroom locations are noted on the attached registration sheet.
If you are concerned about the health of your existing and planned forestland, then this is a must class to gain sound advice from experts in the field of natural resources. Class size is limited to the first 25 registrants so register early!
NOTE: Registration is FREE due to sponsor donations, however attendance confirmation is crucial to classroom and field tour planning.
