A workshop on Feb. 6 in Bucyrus will show you how money can grow on your trees, as well as under and around them.

The workshop “Woodland Opportunities” is being hosted by the Ohio State University Extension at the Crawford County office, 112 E. Mansfield St., from 6 to 8:30 p.m.

“‘What should I do with my woods?’ It’s a question we get a lot,” says Kathy Smith, coordinator of OSU Extension’s Ohio Woodland Stewards Program, which is sponsoring the event and providing the instructors. “We’ll cover some of the income opportunities that landowners should explore when assessing the future of their woodland acreage.” Among those opportunities are timber production, leasing, and products like maple syrup, pawpaws and mushrooms.

Registration deadline is Feb. 2. The cost to attend is $15 per person. Register online, or download the registration form. For details, visit Ohio Woodlands Stewards Program.
