Join us for a night of friendship and forestry! Happy hour at Midtown Brewing Co, hosted by Michigan Forestry Association and Michigan Society of American Foresters. There will be light refreshments provided, and first 25 attendees get a FREE drink ticket.

This webinar will provide a summary of the damage assessment data collected by DNR foresters on State Forest lands across the area damage by the ice storm. Presented by Dan Heckman, Michigan DNR Forest Planning and Modeling Specialist.

Come take a wintry walk with MFA’s Outreach Forester Ellie Johnson to learn the trees that live in our upland and wetland forest zones. Some hiking poles and YakTrax are available if requested.

This presentation will expand on what you can do around your home and property to have defensible space to lessen the impacts of wildfire on your property. Presented by Keith Murphy, Fire Management Specialist for Michigan DNR.

Join MFA and MCCD to discuss how to plant and care for seedlings, and how and what to order from a conservation district seedling sale. We will also be creating the area's first Neighbor Network, a coalition of like-minded private landowners interested in helping each other with their tree planting projects and meet their forest stewardship goals. 

You're invited to the 2026 Women in the Woods snowshoe hike series! Be a part of a community of women who appreciate the forests around them, while getting fresh air and exercise to fight off cabin fever. Kids are welcome. These events will be free, beginner-friendly, guided hikes. Pre-registration is requested!
