  • A sustainably managed woodlot

Network with: Colleagues and Local Wood WORKS staff and advisors Lloyd Irland, Ken Laustsen, Lee Burnett, and Theresa Kerchner

Earn: Professional credits

Covid-precaution reminder: Please come only if you are Covid-vaccinated. We will be caravanning in private cars, rather than traveling by charter bus. Total drive time between stops is about two hours.
