Join us on August 5 for a presentation by Chris Evans, Extension Forestry and Research Specialist, on Managing for Oak Regeneration:  What does current research tell us?

Enhancing oak regeneration is a top priority in Illinois forests, but successfully establishing new oak seedlings is not always easy and success is not guaranteed.  This presentation will review what recent research says about the strategies and practices used in managing for oak seedlings.
