Working Woods Hub

Demonstrating sustainable forestry

85% of Ohio’s forests are privately owned.

Private landowners face a variety of challenges when it comes to successful land stewardship including succession planning, pests, disease, poor logging practices, pressure from logging companies, and invasive plants.

The Working Woods Hub seeks to address these challenges.

What is the Working Woods Hub?

The Working Woods Hub is designed to increase understanding of — and promote best practices in — forest management in our region, achieved through tried-and-true forestry practices, scientific research, and community outreach.

Since its introduction in 2018, Working Woods has gained national recognition and has grown into a wider network that included programs and skills workshops, Ohio-specific forest management resources, a seed bank, and consulting forestry business that offers personalized advice to individual landowners.

What is the purpose of Woodland Management?

Our woods do so much us — they filter our water, purify our air, provide places of beauty and recreation, give us materials to build homes and maple syrup on our pancakes, and so much more. Responsible management is a way to enjoy the many benefits a forest has to offer while ensuring its health and resilience for generations to come.
