Woods in Your Backyard Series

ABOUT THE LIVE WEBINAR

The vast majority of landowners have small woodlots less than 10 acres in size. Woods in Your Backyard Series is designed specifically, but not exclusively, for smaller landscapes. Join us to learn how landowners can create and enhance natural areas around their homes while positively influencing the environment by implementing simple stewardship practices.
