A forestry workshop for landowners on Saturday, Sept. 26, will be held at the Brownsville Fire Hall just off U.S. Highway 385 about seven miles south of Lead.

The workshop is aimed at helping private landowners determine how to manage their forest land, according to Carson Engelskirger, forest programs manager for the Black Hills Forest Resource Association.

The workshop is free and open to the public.

The workshop, second in a series, will have a classroom session, then will tour the Sawyer Memorial Tree Farm to show how the landowners are working to improve productivity and resistance to beetles and fire.

It will run from 8:30 a.m. to noon, but foresters will be available for further questions after noon, Engelskirger said.

The morning program is hosted by the South Dakota State University Cooperative Extension Service, the South Dakota Division of Resource Conservation and Forestry and the South Dakota Tree Farm Committee.
