OREGON, Ohio -- Register by Friday (7/15) for “The Woods in Your Backyard,” a workshop by the Ohio Woodland Stewards Program in northwest Ohio. Organizers say it’s “for landowners who have a small section of woods out back that they want to learn more about.”
Among the topics: Attracting more wildlife, controlling invasive species, “good” trees and shrubs and what they’re good for, and a landowner’s basic management tools, including planting, cutting, soil surveys, aerial photos and building habitat.
It’s on July 22 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at Macomber Lodge in Pearson Metropark, 4701 Navarre Rd., in Oregon.
Forestry experts with Ohio State University Extension, which administers the Stewards Program, will be the instructors.
A $35 registration fee includes lunch and materials. Online registration is available at http://www.regonline.com/wiyby.
There will be indoor and outdoor presentations, so dress for the weather. Landowners participating in the Ohio Forest Tax Law program are eligible for 5 hours of continuing education credit.
For more information, call 614-688-3421 or e-mail ohiowoods@osu.edu.
OSU Extension is the statewide outreach arm of Ohio State’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences.
