The Angus MacLean Tree Farm in Oldham County will be the site of this year’s Tree Farmer of the Year Field Day. The farm has been under active woodland management for more than 50 years, and the MacLean family has managed it to promote high quality timber and wildlife habitat.

The event, which goes from 4 to 7 p.m. EDT Oct. 13, will include a tour of the farm and dinner. Participants will learn about the farm’s history and be given an overview of the American Tree Farm System. They will tour the premier American chestnut orchard in Kentucky and learn about the progress being made to return the chestnut to the state’s woodlands.

Preregistration is required for meal planning purposes. To register, contact University of Kentucky Forestry at 859-257-7597 or forestry.extension@uky.edu, or call the Oldham County Cooperative Extension office at 502-222-9453.
