WELLS — A workshop designed for women who own woodlands will be held at the Wells Reserve at Laudholm on March 25 from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Presented by the Forest Guild, the Maine Forest Service, and the Wells Reserve, “Women and Our Woods” will provide women with the resources they need to make informed decisions about their forested land.

“Maine’s women woodland owners have long been overlooked as significant shapers of Maine forests,” said Amanda Mahaffey, northeast director of the Forest Guild. “Some women make decisions jointly with their husbands, but many play only a supporting role in forest management. Life events often leave women without the knowledge or tools necessary for managing their woodlands and a valued family forest might be liquidated or sold.”

“Women and Our Woods” connects women with licensed foresters, such as Maine Forest Service district foresters, who are trustworthy professionals ready to help people plan for the future of their land. This workshop will introduce women to a powerful circle of friends caring for Maine’s forest lands and teach about tree identification, timber harvest planning, wildlife needs, and creating a legacy.

An indoor morning session will be followed by an optional woodland walk in the afternoon. The $15 fee includes lunch. To register, visit wellsreserve.org or call 646-1555, ext. 119.
