JEFFERSON CITY – Openings remain for a June 9 forest and woodland management workshop at the Rudolf Bennitt Conservation Area near Clark, Mo.

 

During the workshop, which runs 9 a.m. to noon, forestry and wildlife professionals will talk about managing woodlands for wildlife, prescribed burns and sustainable harvesting.
