[ODF_Private_Forests] Women Owning Woodland Network event Nov 11

[WEEKS Kevin]

The Women Owning Woodland Network (WOWnet) will be offering a free tour of the Glen Mountain Grove Center. The Center is dedicated to promoting the well-being of human and natural systems, and is located on 400 acres in a small valley in Southern Douglas County, Oregon, which is part of a 2,500 acre watershed.  It includes a salmon bearing stream about two miles in length and is composed of approximately 280 acres of forest, 70 acres of meadows/pasture, and 40 acres in riparian zones with the balance in home sites.  This tour will look at Mountain Grove's forest management, including some reforestation, invasive species management, and restoration work done along Woodford creek.
The class will be on November 11th, 2010 at 785 Barton Road in Glendale, from 1:00pm to 5:00pm. We will be able to drive to some spots and easily walk to others, this will be an interactive outdoor so please dress appropriately. Pre-registration is appreciated, please RSVP to Chrissy Lucas with Oregon State University Extension Service at (541) 766-3556 or email Chrissy.Lucas at oregonstate.edu<mailto:Chrissy.Lucas at oregonstate.edu>. Please include your name, address, and other contact information.

Women Owning Woodlands Network was formed by Oregon State University Extension Service and local groups of women woodland owners with several objectives:
* Recognize the growing number of women taking a wide array of active woodland management roles.
* Raise basic forestry and decision making skills through hands-on activities.
* Support and increase women's access to forestry related information and encouraging communication through state and local networks.
