Program: Income from timber sales is or will be important for most landowners to help defray the cost of taxes and/or finance the regeneration of new stands or other management practices on the property. Research has shown that, on many soils, early and/or mid-rotation fertilization of forest stands can increase growth of timber into higher-valued forest products and therefore financial returns for the landowner. This program will provide landowners with information and tools they can use to determine, based on their own objectives, soils and stand conditions, whether fertilization would be a cost-effective practice in their timber stand(s). Also included in the program agenda will be discussion about fertilizer materials, current costs, application techniques, Silviculture Best Management Practices and more.

Register: Contact the site you wish to attend to register. A $10 cash fee will be collected at the door to cover materials and refreshments.

SAF Continuing Forestry Education Credits will be available for foresters. Please share this announcement with others that may be interested.
