The Master Woodland Steward program is an intensive training course for those who own, or are interested in, wooded lands and want to become better stewards of forest resources. 

 

As a Master Woodland Steward, you will learn about: 

 

· the forest’s role in Michigan’s environmental and economic health

· forest stewardship planning

· identifying common Michigan tree species

· common forest pests and diseases

· management techniques for woodlands and wildlife

· getting the most out of a woodland while maintaining it for future generations

· state and federal programs for forest landowners

 

To complete the Master Woodland Steward program and receive your certification, you must complete a special forestry-related project in your community or contribute 30 volunteer hours to woodland management education efforts over a 12-month period.

Enrollment for this special program is limited, so register soon.

All sessions will take place at the Ralph A. MacMullan Conference Center on Higgins Lake, and will include indoor and outdoor experiences. Instructors include Michigan State University forestry specialists and woodland management experts.  In addition to the educational sessions, you will take home two high-quality reference books and other informational materials.
