Dear Woodland Owner,

Join us for the 17th annual Southeast Wisconsin Woodland Owners
Conference at the Country Springs Hotel and Conference Center in Waukesha.
This year our theme is woodland invasive and exotic species, with many
sessions to choose from, including:

• Invasive insects and diseases on the horizon
• What trees grow best where?
• Non-traditional forest products
• Endangered species on your property
• Poaching, trespass and other enforcement issues
• UW Professor Scott Craven on Wisconsin's herptiles

As always, a large array of exhibitors will display an exciting variety
of forest-related products and services.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn the latest about woodland management
from experienced resource professionals and other woodland owners.
