Lunch Zoom: Managing Your Woodlands

Woman landowners and the Lorax are kindred tree-protecting spirits, although instead of Truffula Trees we embrace our Wisconsin species like Aspen, Sugar Maple and Red Pine. Woodlands offer unique opportunities as well as challenges to manage. In this session, we’ll be talking all things forest and how to develop a long-term conservation plan for your woodlands that reflects your conservation values. Connect with conservation experts, meet other inspiring Wisconsin women that share your love for the trees, and learn about NRCS resources to support your conservation goals.

Session will be recorded and link sent to all registrants.

Speakers:  Lauren Larsen, Natural Resources Educator, Forestry, UW Extension

Adena Rissman/NLO Project

Hosts: Elena Byrne, Renewing the Countryside & Stephanie Coffman, MOSES

Woman Landowner Share:  Margaret Parsons, Wildflower Woods, Women of WWOA Steering Committee

Conservation Summer Camp Lunch Series

Are you a Wisconsin women landowner, farmer or conservation enthusiast ready to discover new ideas and resources to care for your land? BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! WiWiC will be hosting a second year of our Summer Camp series, an opportunity to join women landowners from across the state who share your passion for stewarding the land and connect with expert advice, resources, and opportunities around the virtual campfire.  

Whatever your background, from beginners to experts, all women are welcome and we want to hear your story.  Feel free to bring your lunch. S’mores optional. Wisconsin Women in Conservation is hosting four sessions from May through August on the last Thursday of the month.

About Wisconsin Women in Conservation

WiWiC is a state-wide collaborative effort led by the Michael Fields Agricultural Institute in partnership with Wisconsin Farmers Union, Renewing the Countryside and Marbleseed (formerly MOSES).  A three-year multi-faceted project funded by the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), WiWiC brings together Wisconsin women landowners to connect and learn about conservation practices, resources, and funding opportunities.
