Woodland Wednesdays Resources

The Woodland Wednesday workshop series was started in 2020 to address topics related to woodland health and wildlife management in northeast Ohio. According to ODNR, Ohio has around 8 million acres of forested land, and private woodland owners hold over 80% of that land. 

The series is intended to help woodland owners manage those properties. Well-managed woodlands improve forest health, aesthetics, and wildlife habitat. It also provides soil stabilization, clean water, self-satisfaction, and a potential source of income.

Woodland Wednesdays are made possible through partnerships between Northeast Counties Farm Bureau (Ashtabula, Geauga, Lake, and Trumbull counties), Soil and Water Conservation Districts (Ashtabula, Geauga, Lake, Trumbull, and Portage), USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, ODNR Division of Forestry, and Holden Arboretum.

Below are the resources from the Woodland Wednesday series that have been recorded and/or have resources to accompany the workshops.

The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

Farm Bureau connections
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.

Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

Bringing the farm back to life
Because we are younger farmers just starting out, Farm Bureau has a lot of good opportunities and resources to help us grow in the future.

Farm Bureau involvement
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.

So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
