The Union County Extension Office, in partnership with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) and the Tennessee Department of Agriculture’s Forestry Division, is offering a free Mushroom Inoculation Workshop on Wednesday, April 30th from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Chuck Swan State Forest.

Participants will meet at the Chuck Swan State Forest Work Center located at 3500 Sharps Chapel Rd, Sharps Chapel, TN 37866.
