For Forest Landowners
WSU Extension has launched a suite of online classes for small forest landowners in Washington. These online classes utilize the Adobe Connect platform that Extension has been working with for several years now via the Technology to Teach program. There are currently 21 different classes to choose from, with more in the works. The online classes were developed by WSU Extension faculty from several different disciplines, along with specialists from the Washington Department of Natural Resources and other partnering agencies. Topics include tree identification, silviculture, forest health, managing noxious weeds, insects and diseases, and understanding regulations, among many others.
This new online initiative offers landowners access to WSU Extension forestry workshops at any time and from anywhere, which greatly expands our reach in the community. The classes are available at: http://extension.wsu.edu/forestry/FSU/Pages/default.aspx. Modules may be purchased individually or in packages.
