SUMMARY:Neighbor Network Mixer w/Benzie Conservation District
DESCRIPTION:The Michigan Forest Association (MFA) and the Benzie Conservation District (BCD) are teaming up to continue the Neighbor Network\, a volunteer tree planting initiative for the Benzie County community.

The Neighbor Network aims to connect private landowners with other private landowners to assist with tree plantings.

Please direct any dietary restrictions (or general questions and concerns) to MFA Outreach Forester Ellie Johnson (ellie.johnson@michiganforests.org or 989-285-2981). \nCost: Free to attend \nRegister here!
