Event summary

The Forest Stewards Guild is hosting our Lake States Guild Gathering at the University of Wisconsin’s Kemp Station in Wisconsin’s beautiful north woods. We will discuss several topics related to silviculture and forest stewardship. Main themes include a focus on Forestry for Wisconsin Birds and a field tour to review the first 15+ years of the Managed Old Growth Silviculture Study site on the 29th.
