Management Tools for my Woodland

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

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.

Join ForestHER NC landowners, natural resource professionals, and others for the second of four interactive webinars about managing for wildlife!

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.
