Dear Conservationist,
The Williams Soil & Water Conservation District is hosting a series of 1-hour habitat enhancement and management workshops. The workshops are held on Thursday evenings from 7 – 8 p.m. at the Williams SWCD office. The first workshop held last night was a big hit. Feel free to attend one or all of the workshops – there is no charge, just come with your questions! Come, learn, and have your questions answered from professionals who actually have years of hands-on experience!
Timber & Forestry: Management & Improvement with Bob Riefers on February 2. Come, learn, and have your questions answered from Bob. What are your woodlot goals? He understands that landowners have differing goals for their property and a ‘cookie cutter’ approach to logging doesn’t work. Bob also gives recommendations on how to manage your woodlot to promote a healthy timber stand. Bob has a forestry degree and also does consulting work.
Invasive Plant Species with Tamathy Stage, Pheasants Forever. Learn what species to be looking for and how to identify them, can we prevent them, and can they be eradicated – February 9.
Designing Habitat with Intent with Tom James, Team Member with Management Advantage & Owner of Modern Habitat Solutions. ALL THINGS HABITAT!! Tom is considered one of the top habitat management consultants in the nation and travels around the country. Learn about property design, development, food plots and more. He appears on You-Tube in the ‘Management Advantage’ Project 17 series - February 23.
