27 Forestry Cost-Sharing Workshop. 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. In addition to labor, many treatments also require financial resources to pay for tree seedlings, stream crossing structures, etc. Most of the treatments that family forest owners make have public benefits, such as reduced fire risk. So, public and non-governmental organizations often make financial assistance available to support forest improvements. University of Idaho Extension offers a morning program designed to answer forest owners' most common questions about these programs and help them apply for them. The program will include an introduction to the scope of forestry cost share programs, a panel of Idaho Master Forest Stewards, and presentations from agency personnel and contractors. Held from 8:30 a.m. to noon; no fee. Register at www.uidaho.edu/CostSharing. Co-sponsored by UI Extension, Idaho Department of Lands, and USDA Forest Service.
