Workshops & Seminars

Since 2011, the North Shore Forest Collaborative has held landowner workshops and professional natural resource seminars. The highlights of these sessions are included here.

Why Workshops?

One of the key goals of the North Shore Forest Collaborative is to connect landowners and resource professionals with key educational opportunities and hands-on learning in real world forest settings.
