The 2025 event offers a new presentation track - "Basics of Forestry", represented by the "A" presentation option in all concurrent sessions.
The Tri-State Forest Stewardship Conference has a 25+ year tradition of providing science-based information and resources to forest landowners and stewards in the Illinois/Iowa/Wisconsin tri-state area. It is one of the largest conferences for forest landowners in the Midwest, and is sponsored by Iowa State University, University of Illinois, and University of Wisconsin-Madison Extension Services. Although designed specifically for woodland owners, attendance by forestry professionals, consultants, volunteers, Master Naturalists, and students is highly encouraged.
The one-day conference is held in spring of each year, usually in early March. For 2025 and beyond, conference host states will rotate in a three-year cycle. Thus, the event will be hosted in eastern Iowa in 2025, southwestern Wisconsin in 2026, northwestern Illinois in 2027, and the cycle then repeated.
