Summer Online Coached Planning
- This event has passed.
July 17 @ 8:30 am – 11:00 am
Natural beauty, wildlife, ecosystem health, harvest income, family ties, privacy, and peace and quiet are some of the many reasons people value their forested property. Whatever your values and objectives are, this comprehensive, university-based forestry class will help you get the most out of the land you love. Whether you have just a few wooded acres or a larger forest tract, if you have trees on your property, this class is for you.
Topics covered include: forest health, wildlife, fire risk, invasive species, and more!
As part of this class we will “coach” you in the writing of your own simple forestry plan that may help otherwise qualifying landowners enroll in conservation cost-share grant programs or current use property tax reductions.
Your time is valuable. We are going to give you everything you need to know about stewarding your property in three weeks, packed with all the same great educational content as our longer courses!
The morning class sessions will be 8:30 to 11:00 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays July 8 – 25, 2024
In lieu of a class field trip, enrollment in this course includes admission to the Western Washington Forest Owners’ Field Day, Saturday, July 27, 2024.
