Forestry Extension Events

2008 Walnut Council National Meeting, August 3-6, Columbia, Mo.

The Missouri Chapter of the Walnut Council is this year's host. More than 250 landowners from across the Midwest and Eastern U.S. are expected to converge on Central Missouri to learn the latest on growing black walnut and other fine hardwoods.

Field tours will show you how to evaluate soil suitability for growing walnut, evaluate trees, and thin forest stands and plantations. Indoor sessions will feature an evening with the experts, investing in carbon credits, growing and marketing cultivar nuts, and estate planning and conservation easements.
