Registration is now open for the 2023 Loving The Land Through Working Forests Conference hosted by the Foundation For Sustainable Forests on September 16 at the Blooming Valley Forest near Meadville, Crawford County.

The day will be full of field-based presentations and walks on critical and emerging topics related to forest stewardship and conservation.

From learning what “femelschlag” means, to foraging for mushrooms, to demonstrations of horse logging, this will be an insightful program. Pre-registration is required and all are welcome.

The Conference offers 8.5 Continuing Forestry Education credits to professionals who attend.

We hope to see you there!
