Forest Stewardship is a series of classes held every Saturday of October. The goal of the Forest Stewardship program is to introduce practical concepts for identifying native species versus invasive species, basic science of its environmental impact, and methods for controlling invasive (or aggressive) species for the everyday community steward.

Attendance at all three classes are required to receive the webinar link for the fourth class for your certificate of completion and to continue onto volunteer duties to become a Certified Forest Stewardship Volunteer.
