“Kellogg Forest hosts research and management programming designed to maintain healthy forests for Michigan residents, develop quality wood products for Michigan consumers and sustain Michigan’s $21 billion forest-products industries,” said K.J. Kettler, manager of Kellogg Forest. “MSU faculty discoveries in the areas of tree breeding, tree genetics and tree planting have informed conservation and management efforts worldwide, and much of that work is done right here in Augusta, Michigan.”

Following a pancake breakfast featuring Spartan Pure Maple Syrup, MSU faculty, alongside industry experts, will discuss ongoing research and the findings that apply to forest management across Michigan. The W.K. Kellogg Experimental Forest Field Day will feature two separate tours of the research facility, covering varied topics.
