Oaks are foundational species in many of Minnesota’s ecosystems and support wildlife habitat, biodiversity, and human communities. Join UMN Extension and St. John’s Outdoor University to learn more about how we can be caretakers of Minnesota’s oak forests. Participants will learn strategies to steward oak forests from seedlings to mature trees and connect with other woodland stewards and natural resource professionals.
