Each year specialists come from across the state to teach Iowans in Southeast Iowa about current forestry issues. ISU Extension and Outreach of Lee County, Iowa DNR and the Iowa Woodland Owners Association will host the 43rd Anniversary of Forestry Field Day on October 5, 2021 from 8:30 am to 3:05 pm at White Oak Campground (Donnellson Unit) in Shimek State Forest.
Topics to be discussed this year will include timber market update, Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) update, Iowa Woodland Owners Association and Tree Farm update, forest management for birds, insects and disease threats to Iowa forests, and exploring the forest understory.

Through programs such as this, the Lee County Extension and Outreach office has been improving the lives of area residents for over 100 years!"
