The Northwest Illinois Forestry Association (NIFA) will welcome Kevin Oetken at its annual dinner meeting on Tuesday, March 28th, at 7 pm at the Mount Carroll Church of God. Following dinner, Mr. Oetken will make a presentation showcasing Native American artifacts, which he has personally found over 45 years of collecting. Kevin is a consultant forester and owns Woodland Forestry Consulting. He has a great interest in how Native Americans used trees, wildflowers, and wildlife for thousands of years, and how European settlement has impacted our environment in a much shorter period of time.
Reservations must be made by Sunday, March 19th. With a reservation, fee for the dinner and program is $20 for NIFA members and their guests or $25 for non-members. Without a reservation, it is $30. Dinner fees can be paid when you register here or at the door. The dinner this year will feature Arnold Farm pork and beef.
