Chapman Sees The Forests For The Trees

Neal Chapman, a woodlands advocate, will present a class "Wonder About Your Woods" from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday, March 23 at the Fairview Community Center, 1910 County Road B, Roseville.

Here's what Chapman had to say about his class:

"Are you getting what you want from your woods? Reasons for owning woodland are many and varied. Why do you own yours? Perhaps it is for aesthetics, recreation, speculation, income, a place to hunt, or most likely some combination of these and other reasons.

Have you thought about how best to enjoy it, protect it, keep it healthy, profit from it, and how about how to pass it on? These thoughts need serious consideration because you love your woods and want to make good decisions to keep your woods healthy, beautiful, productive, and a haven for wildlife.

In this class you will be given the tools you can use to help you make informed decisions about your land to meet your goals and objectives in owning it."

Chapman, of VISIONS FOR YOUR LAND, is a seasoned woodland owner, Master Woodland Steward, and Woodland Advocate, who enjoys sharing his passion for the woods with others.
