Master Woodland Steward Program

Application Process

The Master Woodland Steward Program is designed for woodland owners that have a management plan for their woodlands and are actively involved in the management of their lands.  The program is designed to build on their practical everyday experiences and help them to understand how and why things happened the way they happened.

The Master Woodland Steward Program provides participants with classroom instruction and hands-on learning experiences as well as field trips that are designed to help you learn and understand the concepts better.  You can sign up to participate in the entire program or only those seminars that are of interest to you.  Space is limited and preference will be given to those interested in becoming Master Woodland Stewards.

We are currently in the process of scheduling the calendar for 2008.  We plan to offer the entire series of Master Woodland Steward Program seminars at UW - Stevens Point's Schmeeckle Reserve and Treehaven field station.  We will also be offering the entire series of seminars as a four-day workshop in the Dodgeville area in October.  This program is always popular and fills up quickly.  We will also be offering a limited number of seminars in partnership with the Aldo Leopold Foundation's Woodland School and the Seno Woodland Education Center.  We will be posting the calendar of events shortly so keeping checking or contact us and let us know you are interested and we will send you the schedule as soon as it is out.

If you are interested in attending either one of these workshops you can download a printer ready version of the Master Woodland Steward program's application and mail it to Forestry Outreach Programs
