The UMN Sustainable Forests Education Cooperative (SFEC), run by Program Manager and Extension Specialist Eli Sagor and Program Coordinator Lane Moser, hosts this field-based workshop annually in partnership with the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe. About 45 natural resource managers from a variety of public and private organizations and wood products companies joined them earlier this summer to learn different strategies for managing forests that are home to culturally significant species, including trees, berries, and animals. The aim is to help resource managers learn how to meet cultural-use goals for these species.
