Green Horizons

Skip Mourglia, USDA NRCS Forester, "thumps" a tree during a demonstration of forest management at the Oct. 30th workshop held at Mt. Vernon, Mo.

The editors of Green Horizons failed to include the USDA Southwest Missouri RC & D as a sponsor of the agroforestry workshop, held Oct. 30th at the University of Missouri’s Southwest Research Center, Mt. Vernon, Mo. The story appeared in the Winter issue, pages 6-7. In addition to the Southwest Missouri RC and D, sponsors were the Kansas Farmers Union, Missouri Farmers Union, National Farmers Union and the University of Missouri Center for Agroforestry.

More than 40 landowners attended the event that highlighted trees as a sustainable economic resource and included workshop topics on integrating forestry management on the farm; nuts as a growing market; lease hunting as an additional income source; non-timber products and managing and marketing a woodlot.

The contact information for Skip Mourglia, USDA NRCS Forester and workshop presenter/co-organizer, was also listed incorrectly. Skip can be reached by email at skip.mourglia@mo.usda.gov, or by phone at (417) 732-6485.
