Forestry Field Day

Your woods or forest can provide you with enjoyment, timber, hunting, and so much more. Whatever the goal, the Van Buren Conservation District is here to support you and your land.

Join us for our Forestry Field Day, grow the benefits and prune the challenges of your woods. This free event is open to all Van Buren County landowners with woods or forests. There is no minimum on the acreage of your forest to participate. Registration is required.
