These advisors may be aware that their clients have considered or may be considering how to arrange the future of their estates before they die. However, many professionals will not recognize that research indicates over 60% of forest landowners have not talked with their heirs about forestry in general and less than 35% have shared a forestry management plan with their heirs.

This will start at 10:45 am. Presented by Richard Bryant and Phil Dougherty ArborGen, LLC The presentation will begin with a brief discussion of the history and development of tree improvement in the Southeast. It will describe and define the various seedling products and provide an estimate of the genetic gain for each. This leads into how to combine the use of the best genetic material (i.e., MCP families and varietals) with the application of both current and novel silvicultural regimes.

We didn't get into this profession to live in cities and work in meeting rooms. However, our constituents have changed and the methods we use to influence land management have changed as well. We can no longer ignore the urban / urbanizing areas. Additionally, we are being asked to do more with less, so efficiency is critical. By working with planners and policy makers, we can impact the landscape on a grand scale.

It will begin with an overview of the big picture challenges and solutions of developing a forest industry to service interface forests. The bulk of the webinar will then focus on active forest management practices that 1) produce high-value amenity resources such as scenery, privacy and hiking and 2) increase confidence in and respect for forest service professionals. Specific vegetation management practices and job planning guidelines will be discussed.

What is this area often referred to as the wildland-urban interface (WUI)? We’re facing new challenges including population growth, rapid land-use change, and forest fragmentation. What are the key issues that natural resource professionals are facing in this changing environment and how are they interrelated? No publisher hubbard 2009-10-08T15:37:28Z Webinar
