Management Tools for my Woodland

By Dakota Wagner, Forest Stewards Guild and North Carolina ForestHer

Women Owning Woodlands is hosting four webinars in May based on “Women on the Land: A Landowner’s Guide to Stewarding Her Woodlands.”

Register here!

Women landowners across the eastern United States (and beyond) have an incredible new resource at their fingertips in the form of the Women on the Land: A Landowner's Guide to Stewarding her Woodlands.

Nonnative is not the same as invasive. Trees have purpose in both the natural rural setting and the urban landscape. We’ll discuss the qualities (or lack thereof…) of invasive trees. Also, I’ll name some of the worst species in Arkansas and how they might be addressed in the future.

Presenter: Chandler Barton, Division Forester

Arkansas Department of Agriculture, Forestry Division

This Q&A session is intended to provide a safe and welcoming learning environment for women who are new to chainsaws.

On this video call natural resource professionals and fellow WOW members will be there to talk about your forests, so come prepared with questions, stories, and of course, your preferred drink or snack!

Join ForestHER NC landowners, natural resource professionals, and others for the second of four interactive webinars about managing for wildlife! In this webinar we will discuss common invasive plants of North Carolina, how they adversely impact wildlife, and some of the challenges with invasive plant control. We will also introduce you to landscaping with native plants and highlight some favorite trees, shrubs, perennials, vines and grasses that benefit pollinators, birds, mammals, and other wildlife.

Are you a woman who owns, cares for, or is interested in learning more about woodlands? Join us for this FREE webinar series, which will highlight sustainable forestry, forest health, and management of non-timber resources.
