The 15th Annual Sustainable Forestry Conference will be held Thursday, April 4 th from 7:50 am until 3:45 pm at the Keyes Peak Ski Lodge, 4960 Hwy 101, four miles south of Florence. This is a new location for this event to accommodate more registrations.

This year’s conference focuses on “The Forest Industry: Tools and Rules for Success”.

Organizers encourage individuals from regional wood products and logging businesses, elected officials, foresters and land managers, school board members and superintendents, utilities development staff, economic development directors, state government and other related associations and resource agencies to attend.

Diverse audiences have led to excellent discussions and networking at past conferences. Morning speakers will address Forest Health, Wisconsin’s Deer Management Assistance Plan, Keeping More Money When Buying Timber, and Digital Age Timber Business Management. Afternoon speakers will address WI/MI DOT Truck Weight Limits – Permits, Rules and Regulations, Mobile Technology & Forestry – Finding a Tool to Meet your Needs, and Glued Laminated Timber – History & Uses. The conference ends with Henry Schienebeck, Executive Director from the Great Lakes Timber Professionals Association providing a Wisconsin and Michigan Legislative Update.
