Landowners, woodlot owners, and others interested in learning more about forestry are invited to attend an introductory workshop, led by Westmoreland Conservation District Forester Tony Quadro, on September 29, from 8:30 a.m. to noon.

This “Forestry I” workshop will be held at the Westmoreland Conservation District on Donohoe Road in Greensburg and in the adjacent, natural wooded area of Ann Rudd Saxman Nature Park.

Participants will be introduced to basic tree identification, common forestry terms, and methods for measuring timber. No prior experience or knowledge of forestry is necessary, but registration by September 27 is required.

This workshop is sponsored by the Westmoreland Conservation District and the Westmoreland Woodlands Improvement Association. A nominal fee (reduced rate for WWIA members) will be charged.
