Stop letting good logs go to waste! Join the Illinois Forestry Association and University of Illinois Extension for a hands-on demonstration of turning backyard trees into usable lumber.
Join Extension Foresters and Specialists Chris Evans, Kevin Rohling, and Justin Vozzo as they break down the pros and cons of milling at various price points.
What we’ll cover:
The Chainsaw Mill: Portable, affordable, and perfect for remote logs.
Hobby Sawmills: Stepping up your production and precision.
Aftercare: A discussion on the "make or break" steps—lumber drying and storage best practices.
Meeting Location: We will meet at the main parking area of the Dixon Springs Agricultural Center near the pavilion, where the mills and lumber will be set up.
