The vast majority of landowners have small woodlots less than 10 acres in size. This nine-session series is designed specifically, but not exclusively, for smaller landscapes. Learn how landowners can positively influence the environment by implementing simple stewardship practices.

- Why Manage Forests?
- Forest Ecology
- Creating and Managing Wildlife Habitat
- Identifying and Controlling Invasive Plants
- Forest Health Issues and Management
- Forests and Water
- Selecting Native Trees for Various Sites
- Establishing Meadows and Forests
- Creating Plans for Your Property
