BUCYRUS, Ohio -- They’re talking trees and turkeys Tuesday, and there’s still time to sign up to be there.
The Ohio Woodland Stewards Program holds a workshop for landowners, “What Can You Do With Your Woods?” from 6 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 11, in the lower level conference room of the Crawford County Courthouse, 112 E. Mansfield St., in Bucyrus.
Taught by forestry specialist Kathy Smith and wildlife specialist Marne Titchenell from Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, the class gives the basics on how to manage a woodland.
Among the topics will be gauging the health of a forest, determining the value of timber, and also managing for wildlife, such as deer, songbirds and, yes, wild turkeys.
The registration deadline is noon on Monday, Feb. 10. Registration costs $15 per person. Participants can register online at http://go.osu.edu/bUN.
The workshop qualifies for three credit hours for landowners participating in the Ohio Forest Tax Law program.
For more information, call 614-688-3421 or email ohiowoods@osu.edu.
The Woodland Stewards program is run by Ohio State University Extension, the college’s statewide outreach arm.
