“This conference addresses the latest issues and trends in forest and wildlife management,” said event founder Adam Downing of Virginia Cooperative Extension.

Ellen Powell of the Virginia Department of Forestry said, “Participants can tailor their own program by attending sessions that target large property management, small woodlot projects or topics of general interest to any landowner.”

Collaborators from a multitude of public, private and industrial entities plan the conference, which is designed to appeal to a broad array of landowners.  This year’s event features expert speakers on diverse topics relating to wildlife, habitats, resource management and other forestry and wildlife topics. The conference cost, which includes lunch and materials, is $45 per person or $80 per couple.
