Stewardship Educational Programs
Would you like to:
- learn more about managing and caring for your woodlands?
- see and explore Certified Forest Stewardship properties
and speak with the owners to learn how they are working
to reach their management goals?
- If you answered “yes” to either of these
questions, then the Division of Forestry has several
annual, educational opportunities to offer you through
the Forest Stewardship Program.
|
| The Division of Forestry offers several management
workshops and property tours each year, with assistance
from the USDA Forest Service, the University of Florida,
IFAS extension, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission.
The workshops are usually scheduled toward the end of
the week during the late afternoon and early evening,
and cover a wide variety of natural resource management
topics from estate planning to integrating forest management
and wildlife practices. |
| Our Forest Stewardship tours offer participants
a first hand look at good natural resource management practices
on Stewardship properties located throughout Florida. Tour
participants will be able to see and learn how the methods
and practices landowners are using are helping them to reach
their management goals.
Approximately 3-4 tours and 2-3 workshops are
held annually, and are open to everyone, but reservations
are required. Workshop and tour announcements and contact
information can be found on the Division of Forestry’s
events calendar as well as the University
of Florida’s Stewardship bulletin board at http://www.sfrc.ufl.edu/Extension/ffws/bul.htm.
