Got out of bed in the dark this morning and drove to Green Bay with a couple of my neighbors to attend the North East Woodland Owners winter conference.
These meetings are generally pretty interesting as it's an opportunity to meet other folks with similar interests, maybe learn something new and have a couple of doughnuts. It's a blue jeans, flannel shirt and Carhartt work coat sort of crowd. Different from the day job.
Today's program included presentations on bear and wolf management, an update on Wisconsin's Managed Forest Law and various forest pests.
Beech bark disease has arrived in Door County. The emerald ash borer is knocking on the door. And Annosum root rot is as close as Shawano County.
Annosum root rot - Heterobasidion annosum.
And you don't want to get this rot as it can persist for upwards of a hundred years.
Blech.
