Held Wednesday, May 15th 

WEBINAR RECORDING

We all have a caretaking responsibility to the places in which we live. Our forests in Northern Minnesota need tending as they face threats from disease, insect infestations, fire, and climate change impacts. Rooted in the Future is a short film developed by Dovetail Partners intended to inspire landowners to develop and implement a plan to do that caretaking. The film highlights landowners, contractors, and land stewards in Northern Minnesota and their efforts to care for their forestland, to build wildfire resiliency and help the land be the healthiest it can be.
