Forest Stewardship, Publicity and Training

Forestry Technical Training and Stewardship Dr. Jacob Muller Abstract We will undertake activities to provide technical training assistance to natural resource professionals and promote the federal forest stewardship program. The Forest Stewardship Program (FSP) provides assistance to owners of forest land where good stewardship, including agroforestry practices, will enhance and sustain multiple forest resources and contribute to healthy and resilient landscapes. The program also helps create jobs in rural communities by sustaining local markets for forest products and increasing training opportunities for qualified private forestry consultants and state field foresters. The activities for this project include 1) the develop outreach and educational material and programs for natural resource professionals and non-industrial private forest landowners, 2) brochures, pamphlets, bulletins, and newsletters for technical outreach support in educating non-industrial private forest landowners, 3) provide technical training assistance to natural resource professionals and 4) help with the development and printing of one edition of the Kentucky Woodlands Magazine.
