From the Woods Today celebrates Water Week! During Water Week, March 22-30, we shed some light on the importance of water around the state and in our daily lives. Join us as Lee Moser, Extension Associate Senior, gives us a lesson all about water! Check out our Water Week events at: https://soilandwater.ca.uky.edu/WaterWeekEvents

Also on tap... Jason Hunt, Kentucky Division of Forestry Environmental Control Supervisor, stops by to give us a tutorial on how woodland owners can prevent timber theft and trespass in Kentucky. The landowner could reduce this occurrence as much as possible by taking steps to prevent issues. He is going to talk about the laws and give landowners information on what to do when planning a harvest.

In this episode of From the Woods Today, Dr. D.J. McNeil and Dr. John Cox visit the show to discuss how extreme weather fluctuations can affect our wildlife. And... Chad Niman will be speaking about mass timber products. These are created by assembling smaller wood elements, like dimension lumber, veneers, or strands, and bonding them with adhesives, dowels, nails, or screws to form larger structural components.
