In 2006, with a vision and generous support from Jacque and Denny Holloway, Trees Forever began an initiative called Our Woodland Legacy. The vision was to equip woodland owners with skills and resources to manage, preserve and improve their properties; as well as celebrate the rewards of healthy forests and woodlots through an annual symposium.
In 2023 we are reshaping our programming to offer multiple educational opportunities! Join us for a series of free educational webinars that will engage, inform, and entertain as we celebrate Our Woodland Legacy. Meet us this fall for a special planting and social event to network and celebrate all things trees.
Thank you for helping us plant a better tomorrow.
