woods

Approximately forty percent of Minnesota’s woodlands are privately owned. Caring for our forests is often the job of private landowners. Our Trees & Woodlands programs offer information and learning opportunities for citizens interested in protecting and improving woodlands.

You can learn about:

  • timber harvesting, wood processing and forest products
  • urban forestry
  • windbreaks and shelterbelts
  • wildlife management, invasive species and forest ecology
  • silviculture and forest recreation

Anyone with an interest in forestry can enroll. Our courses are especially helpful to private woodland owners, loggers, and natural resource professionals and businesses.
