Woodland Steward Series: Managing Your Legacy

Woodland owners (especially those owning 20 acres or less) interested in managing their land and developing an understanding of the basic principles of woodland stewardship are invited to participate in a unique educational event. A team of land management experts from federal and state agencies, universities, and the private sector are coordinating efforts to offer the Woodland Steward Series through the Biltmore Forest School.

Sessions include both hands-on activities in the field and instruction in the classroom. Introductory information on a wide variety of land management topics will be discussed.

Sessions will be held in all three sections of North Carolina (piedmont: spring, mountains: summer, coastal: fall). Registration is $50 per person per workshop, with discounts for other family members. Please see registration brochures for times, exact locations, and descriptions of each workshop.
