Woodland Stewardship for Landowners

July 8, 2025 Ishani Mishra

Forests and woodlots are constantly changing. To get the most out of your property to meet your wildlife, recreational, aesthetic or economic goals, some type of regular management is necessary. Getting the most out of your woods can be a challenge on your own.

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry and Purdue Extension-Forestry and Natural Resources partnered together on the Woodland Stewardship for Landowners video series to help educate landowners on options for managing their woodlands.

This series includes videos about different forestry practices available to woodland owners, including information on their scientific basis, costs & benefits, and the general approach of each practice. Ultimately, this will allow woodland owners to make more informed long-term management decisions that enhance their woods for their objectives. View the various videos below:
