Woodlands are not often thought of as a place for investment, but the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service and Department of Forestry are partnering to present a seminar, "One Acre at a Time," addressing how proper forest management can pay dividends to landowners, according to a press release from the College of Agriculture.
"Kentucky’s woodlands produce some of the world’s most valuable hardwood trees, and they are a renewable product. Any land that has trees growing on it can continue to produce after a managed harvesting operation," said extension forester Billy Thomas. The press release says participants "will come away from the seminar with clear directions on how to reap the benefits from their property."
The seminar will be held at the John W. Black Community Center, 1551 North Highway 393 in LaGrange, Ky., on March 27 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Registration will begin at 6 p.m. and cost $5. Preregistration is encouraged and can be made in advance at an extension office in Oldham, Bullitt, Henry, Jefferson, Shelby, Spencer and Trimble counties. For more information, call the Oldham County office at 502-222-9453 or UK Forestry Extension at 859-257-7597.
