About the Event
Conservation of wooded lands is rewarding, challenging work. For many women, the intimidating nature of the power tools behind much of the work (read: chainsaws) keeps them sidelined. Marbleseed, Michael Fields Agriculture Institute, and Wisconsin Women in Conservation are teaming up to address this confidence gap. Let’s get women landowners excited about managing their wooded acres! Join us to learn from arborist and educator Rebecca Seibel, and Natural Resources Educator Olivia Kovacs as they lead Part 2 of this series, a hands-on and in-person Field Day in Mount Horeb, WI.
Due to the nature of the event, registration at the May 21st field event is limited and will cost $100 per person. The goal is to introduce women to the tools, skills, and equipment integral to woodland management. Participants will learn how to assess woodland health, identify invasive non-native species, and receive direct instruction on the safe and effective use of power tools, especially chainsaws.
Please RSVP for the May 21 Field Day…
