Forestry

Education for better woodlands management

The Oregon State University Extension Service is pleased to announce the return of forestry and natural resources educational programs to Lane County!

While we still do not have an Extension Forester stationed here, other Extension Foresters from around the state have teamed up to offer a great lineup of programs. They'll be on hand to address key topics for Lane County woodlands, to offer practical advice and to answer your questions. Don't miss out!
