Event Description

The Hudson River Estuary Program and Cornell Cooperative Extension are pleased to announce a webinar series and field trip for landowners with smaller properties in the Upper Hudson Valley.

Smaller properties are a big deal to forest management. The vast majority of land owners in New York State have less than 20 acres. This land, wooded or not, is a vital resource for all.

By enhancing or creating natural areas and woodland on your lot, you can enjoy recreation, aesthetics, wildlife, and protect your water quality. By looking at how your property connects with other natural areas of potential natural areas, there are ample opportunities to make an even larger impact on the ecosystem. Owners of even just a few acres can make a positive difference in their environment through planning and implementing simple stewardship practices learned during The Woods In Your Backyard webinar series.
