Conference Details

The Wisconsin Society of American Foresters is hosting the 2012 Red Pine Symposium to discuss the current science and management recommendations for the growth and health of Red Pine in Wisconsin. 

Red pine has been and continues to be one of the most economic and ecologically important species in the Lake States.  Red pine is valued for its wood as well as its ability to reclaim previously farmed land.  It is the most widely planted tree species in the Lake States, due in part to planting projects designed to reclaim cutover lands and later as one of the primary species use by forest products industry.
