COLUMBIA, Mo. – Doug Butler of Boone County will welcome visitors to his Missouri Century Farm to see a mature bottomland stand of walnut as part of the Oct. 11-12 Woodland Owners Conference.

During the two-day event, participants will learn how to work with foresters to manage sites for income today while retaining trees that will produce quality wood and income in the future, says Brian Schweiss, University of Missouri Extension sustainable forestry specialist.
