Whidbey Island Coached Planning
September 13 @ 9:30 am – 12:00 pm
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.
9:30 a.m.– 12:00 p.m. Friday Mornings, September 6 – November 8, 2024
Field trip 9:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Friday, October 25th.
Thursday afternoon sessions will be held on the second floor of the Bayview Cash Store, 5603 Bayview Rd Langley, WA 98260.
