Northwestern PA To Host Forests & Forest Landowners Conference Jan. 30

The forest management options available landowners in the northwestern region of Pennsylvania will be discussed at the 14th annual NW PA Forests & Forest Landowners Conference on January 30 at Behrend College, Reed Union Building, in Erie.

The conference will also provide attendees with an opportunity to network and meet other forest landowners.

Private forest landowners own over 12.5 million acres or 75 percent of the commonwealth’s forestland. The long-term sustainability of our natural resources is in the hands of many local communities, state agencies, non-profit conservation organizations and thousands of private landowners.

Pre-registration is required for this conference; the deadline is January 22. The registration fee is $20 for the first person and $15 for every additional person in a group.

For more information or the conference or how to register, contact the Bureau of Forestry – District 14 at 814-723-0262 or send email to: fd14@state.pa.us.
