On Thursday, September 22, 2016, a joint meeting between the Society of American Foresters and the Great Lakes Timber Professionals Association – Southern Chapter will focus on two key forest health issues – annosum root rot and oak wilt. Morning presentations will cover the new oak harvesting guidelines and seek input for the upcoming review of the annosum root rot guidelines. In the afternoon, meeting participants will visit a state timber sale in Waushara County and evaluate how the oak wilt guidelines apply to it. The gathering will start at the Wild Rose Fishery Habitat Management Station (N6154 State Why 22, Wild Rose, WI 54984) at 9 a.m. (registration at 8:30 a.m.) and conclude at 4 p.m. Participants will be able to earn continuing education credits: 7 SFI credits ($35 charge), 5.5 SAF credits (category 1) or 5.5 DNR cooperating forester credits.
