Things to consider...

Kentucky’s woodland owners own their properties for a wide variety of reasons. With proper planning and the right assis-

tance, interests such as timber produc-tion, wildlife, and recreational opportuni-ties can complement one another. Learn how at the 2019 Kentucky Woodland Owners Short Course (WOSC)! Local planning committees developed each regional program which includes two programming tracks featuring both indoor and outdoor presentations including a visit to a nearby woodland. Each track fea-tures forestry, wildlife, and natural resource professionals from across Kentucky covering a wide variety of topics—there is sure to be some-thing for everyone! Individuals as well as couples are encouraged to attend the regional event nearest their woodland property. Register now because space is limited.
