Webinar to focus on generating income from woodlands
When: July 12
Time: 6:00pm
Where: Online
The University of Illinois Extension Forestry Program will host a free webinar July 12 on ideas to generate income from privately owned woodlands. While many forest owners earn income by selling timber, landowners may have more opportunities to make money from their property than they realize. Landowners will explore income-generating specialty products and recreational services in the webinar that starts at 6 p.m. Purdue University Extension Forester Lenny Farlee will cover such topics as sourcing medicinal herbs, fruits, nuts and craft items from woodlands. He will also explore how owners can provide services by leasing land to the public for hunting, camping and other recreational opportunities.

Public Meeting for County Ditch 16 and 23 Inspections
When: June 15, 2022
Time: 6:30pm
Where: Cambridge Public Library (111 Dellwood St N Cambrigde)
The goal of this meeting is to gauge opinion on ditch maintenance and the potential abandonment of some sections. Landowners around the ditches will receive a direct notice of the meeting. All are welcome to attend.
Earlier this year, the SWCD and Isanti County partnered to complete ditch inspections and multipurpose drainage management plans (MDM) on two ditches. The results of those inspections will be shared at this public meeting. County Ditch 16 and 23 both drain into Green Lake. These are the first two ditches in the county to be inspected.
