Quail/Pheasants Forever plan landowner seminar Saturday

The Cherokee Strip Quail Forever/Pheasants Forever  will host a landowner seminar Saturday in the West Assembly Room at Pioneer Technology Center.

Registration starts at 8 a.m. with speakers starting at 9 a.m. There will be a field trip to the Big Fork Ranch after lunch. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.

  John Weir on fire science and seasonal burning;
• Dwayne Elmore on upland habitat;
• Derek Wiley on upland biology;
• Tom Cannon on cover crops, soils and no till;
