2008 IFWOA Annual Meeting
November 14-15, Turkey Run Inn, Marshall, IN
This year we'll be offering a full day
of field tour options on Friday and the popular evening exhibitor's
social. On Saturday we'll have State Forester John Seifert tell
us the latest at the Indiana Division of Forestry, especially
private landowner programs. A special keynote
speaker, Mike Seidl, will share "Where in the World are Indiana
Hardwoods."
We'll also have our popular Woodland Owner
University concurrent sessions (eight topics!) throughout the day on
Saturday and our traditional Awards Banquet and live auction
supporting IFEF.
