The Minnesota Family Woodlands Conference is quickly approaching on Saturday, January 11 in Grand Rapids! Join UMN Extension Forestry, local natural resource professionals, and your fellow woodland stewards for a day of learning more about woodland stewardship, wildlife, trail design and construction, invasive species, and more. 

You'll be able to choose from sessions covering a variety of topics, such as tree seed collection, foraging, non-game wildlife stewardship, Firewise practices, and more! You will also have the opportunity to connect with over a dozen natural resource organizations during our exhibit breaks, such as the American Bird Conservancy, local Soil and Water Conservation Districts, and Let's Plant Trees.

Register before December 1st and save - the cost of registration increases by 20% after December 1st. Space is limited - so register early to secure your spot at the first UMN Extension Forestry conference in ten years.

If registering as a family, you can register additional family members for only $10. Registration is waived for Tribal members and costs are reduced for Itasca County residents and landowners. Lunch and refreshments are included with registration.
