Northwest Indiana: Walnut Council Field Day

The Indiana Chapter is holding their autumn field day at this Agricultural Center.  The registration fee is $10 for refreshments, lunch (it appears), and all of the presentations and demonstrations.

The morning features Purdue University foresters showing management practices following a selective harvest and then discussing their trials and tests on coppicing, progeny, containerized stock, and butternut plantings.

Following lunch, attendees will visit a walnut and white oak plantation for a discussion of management techniques and a walnut stand to discuss thinning and felling techniques.

To register, either email Don Greene with the number in your party at dgreene43@comcast.net and pay at the door or mail your check to Don Greene, 6177 E. State Road 54, Bloomfield, IN 47424-6029.

Note: The event location is on Central or Chicago time.
