As landowners, we are sometimes challenged with how to manage open spaces. Perhaps you are sick of mowing, or you’d like more trees on your property. Maybe you’d like to provide native plants for pollinators, install a windbreak or screen, or a rain garden. The options can be overwhelming, and it can be hard to know where to start. In this class, we will start with a 2-acre plot of open land and guide you through the establishment of different plantings.   

Registration for this class is closed as we are at capacity for the day.  Feel free to register and put your name on the waitlist.  If someone cancels those on the waitlist will be contacted about attending the class. This class will cover identification and removal options for some invasive plants that many of us deal with day in and day out.  Once you know what it is and how to get rid of it what should you do next?   We will cover options for dealing with the site after removal of the invasives and discuss plant options as well.  

Are you a private landowner interested in attracting wild turkey to your property? Join wildlife professionals for dinner and a discussion on habitat needs and how to manage your property for wild turkey. After dinner we will venture outside to look at examples of turkey habitat.

Want to learn how to identify some common Ohio trees?  Then join us and spend the day learning common terminology and how to use a dichotomous tree key.  The class starts out in the morning learning some key characteristics to look for and then works with a key on some samples from local trees.  In the afternoon we will go outside and do some hands on identification utilizing that same key.
