JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) along with Lincoln University invites landowners to learn about sustainable woodland management practices at an event on Oct. 7 from 8:30 a.m. until 12 p.m. at Lincoln University – Busby Farm in Jefferson City.

Participants will learn management practices for maintaining their woods for forest products and/or wildlife habitat using a technique called timber stand improvement (TSI).
