Join Chris Evans, University of Illinois Extension Forestry Specialist, for a Forest Management Plan Workshop on Saturday, October 19, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Elizabeth Community Building, HWY 20 West, Elizabeth, IL. Pre-registration is required by October 16 to attend the workshop and lunch is included in your registration. To register or for more information, please visit us online or call the Extension Office at 815-858-2273. 

Forest management is a way to get the most out of your forest, whether your goals are increasing timber value, wildlife habitat, beauty and recreation, or just having a healthy forest. Effective forest management starts with a plan! 

This workshop will cover how managers and landowners can set goals for their forests, what programs are available to assist in forest management planning, understanding a forest management plan and its recommended practices, and a discussion on the trends and issues facing forests in northwestern Illinois. The day will end with a tour of a managed forest.

This workshop will be useful for any forest manager, whether you are just thinking about starting to manage your forest or you already have a plan in place.

If you need a reasonable accommodation to attend this program, please call the Extension Office at 815-858-2273. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet your needs.
