Driftless Oak Silviculture

Tuesday October 15th, 9am - 3pm

Brownsville area, MN

Oaks in the Chequamegon Nicolet National Forest

Join SFEC and the MN DNR as we work our way through 3 sites showcasing oak management in the southeast. We'll broadly be discussing regeneration and tending strategies as well as considering climate resilience elements for these forest types. 

Location: We will meet in the Brownsville, Minnesota area; your registration confirmation will have the exact meeting point. 

Agenda: Stay tuned for an agenda closer to the event.

Accessibility: We will be driving to sites in personal vehicles. This will be entirely field-based with limited access to toilets or other facilities. Blaze orange gear should be worn for this workshop. Tick protection is also recommended. 

Cost: $75 for members, $140 for nonmembers, $40 for students. Registration includes lunch.

CEs: 4.5

EcoSilv Credits: This workshop will satisfy one of the "Field Applications" credits for SFEC's EcoSilv course in this region; foresters interested in the EcoSilv certification can attend either this workshop OR our Floodplain Silviculture workshop.
What is this? Ecological Silviculture (EcoSilv) is a cohort course culminating in a certificate earned by attending a mix of dedicated and open workshops. In other words, some required EcoSilv classes will be SFEC workshops or symposia that are open to people who are not part of the EcoSilv cohort, while other courses are limited solely to the EcoSilv cohorts and will be identified as such.
