REGION — Women across the mid-Atlantic region who own, care for, or are interested in learning more about forestland are invited to apply to attend the fourth annual Women and Their Woods (WaTW) Educational Retreat from September 25-28 at Camp Susque in Trout Run, PA.

The four-day workshop is full of educational programs and field trips related to the care and management of forestland. The result is a friendly, peer-learning environment and connection to a network of educated landowners and natural resource professionals.

Topics and activities in indoor and outdoor sessions include forest ecology, wildlife, estate and financial planning, calculating the value in your forest, forest plant identification, and more. WaTW graduates go on to serve as mentors for other landowners in their communities in the proper stewardship of their lands.
