Description: Join us in the heart of Virginia’s Piedmont to explore the scenic and productive forests of these historic lands. From the preserved Haden Family farmhouse at Fluvanna County’s premier public park (Pleasant Grove) to lands near the former town of Columbia along the James River, we will explore a variety of management tools for landowners to improve forest productivity, diversity, and habitat value.

Subject: Workshop
Description: Small lots are a big deal. The vast majority of landowners in Virginia own less than 10 acres. By enhancing wooded areas or creating natural areas on your lot, you can enjoy recreation, aesthetics, wildlife and improved water quality and the air you breathe. Owners of even just a few acres can make a positive difference in their environment through planning and implementing simple stewardship practices learned at this workshop.
