Thank you to everyone who attended our Post Ice Storm Forestry talk on Wed. May 14th! We appreciate you taking the time to sharing your stories and concerns regarding the aftermath of the ice storm and how it has impacted you. We had a number of presentations from Farm Service Agency, Michigan DNR, and Metcalfe Forestry and Burns Timber Tax Companies, and hope that attendees were able to get useful information and resources from the event to help guide them. For those unable to attend, we weren't able to record the event, but we will pull together available presentations and handouts to be posted on our Post Ice Storm Forestry Information page.
