During this monthly series for active aging adults, participants will have opportunities to meet our on-site educators, listen to guest presenters and take part in various natural resource-themed activities. All programs begin at 9 a.m. and include pastries, coffee and tea upon entry. At 9:30 a.m., presentations will begin, so sit back and enjoy your snack during an exciting and informative program, then wrap up with time to explore the OAC exhibits.
In March, we’ll take a look at the history of Michigan's state forests from the past to the present. Learn how early logging impacted our present-day state forests and how we manage them now. We'll look at some historical logging photos, economically and ecologically important species, how the Department of Natural Resources Forest Resources Division manages state forest lands and some of the insects and diseases impacting the health of our forests today.
This event kicks off Lumberjack Days 2025 – join the fun by wearing your best flannel, and don't forget to check out the full weekend schedule.
