Join landowners, natural resource professionals, and other outdoor lovers for day-long tours that explore a variety of sustainable forestry and wildlife management practices. Tours visit private, public, and industry-owned lands.
Past tours have visited seedling nurseries, timber harvesting operations, sawmills, pine plantations, cooperages, hardwood forests, arboretums, Christmas tree farms, elk habitat, fisheries, hunting plantations, and more.
Tours are held in October to showcase the beauty of fall in Virginia.
Lunch and travel between stops allow for plenty of fellowship and opportunites to learn from other participants and natural resource professionals.
