Want to learn more about attracting wildlife to your land? Do you want to learn how to identify the trees and shrubs on your property? How about putting trees and shrubs to work to block the wind and blowing snow, or produce specialty products you can use at home or sell? Do you have some trees with some disease or insect problems? Are the rabbits and deer munching on your trees?
To get answers to these and other tree and forest-related questions, be sure to come to the Central Region Woodland Stewardship Conference on Saturday, November 3, at the beautiful National Arbor Day Foundation's Lied Conference Center in Nebraska City, Neb.
