Forestry cost sharing workshop date is announced

Most Idaho forests will be healthier and more likely to meet landowners’ objectives with some stand treatments, such as thinning or tree planting.

Many forest owners do this work themselves, but for people who have large numbers of acres to treat, it is often essential to get some help to do the work. In addition to labor, many treatments also require financial resources, to pay for tree seedlings, stream crossing structures, etc.

On Saturday March 2, University of Idaho Extension is offering a morning program designed to answer forest owners’ most common questions about these programs and help them apply for them.The program will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the University of Idaho Extension Office in Kootenai County, 1808 N. Third St., Coeur d’Alene.

For registration questions, contact the UI Extension Office in Kootenai County at 208-446-1680.
