Finding Assistance

Women landowners across the eastern United States (and beyond) have an incredible new resource at their fingertips in the form of the Women on the Land: A Landowner's Guide to Stewarding her Woodlands.

This is the second in a series of WOW Entomology publications. Each publication highlights a common insect impacting forests in a particular region of the United States, paired with an interview of a woman landowner who has had to address that insect in managing her forest.

Women Owning Woodlands is hosting four webinars in May based on “Women on the Land: A Landowner’s Guide to Stewarding Her Woodlands.”

Is your home ready for the next FIRE?

The ponderosa pine forests of the Black Hills are a fire adapted ecosystem. This makes the question NOT IF a fire will occur, BUT WHEN will the next fire occur.

This Q&A session is intended to provide a safe and welcoming learning environment for women who are new to chainsaws.

On this video call natural resource professionals and fellow WOW members will be there to talk about your forests, so come prepared with questions, stories, and of course, your preferred drink or snack!

For landowners, donating a conservation easement is a way to protect places they love. It’s also a major financial decision. When landowners donate a conservation easement, they give up part of the value of their property — often their family’s biggest asset.
