This year’s conference offers a dynamic mix of educational sessions, hands-on field tours, and community connection. Participants will enjoy presentations on topics such as wildlife habitat management, pollinator-friendly forestry, prescribed burns, geology and forest ecosystems, drone technology in forestry, and tree and shrub identification. Indoor and outdoor sessions will be offered throughout Friday, led by forestry professionals and conservation experts. Thursday will start with an optional field tour at our Lovett property and ending with a social hour at Lewis and Clark Community College. Saturday includes an optional field day with Alley Ringhausen from the Great Rivers Land Trust leading us through the properties they care for. Head to the registration link to learn more about the IFA 20th Annual Conference.
