The Forest Stewardship Team is collaborating with the UC ANR Fire Network to host a three-part webinar series this fall titled “Before You Buy Forestland.” Goals for this series are to provide prospective landowners with tools and resources that they can use before they buy forestland, to help them make an informed and thoughtful purchasing decision. These tools and resources can also be helpful to all forest landowners.
The series will consist of three sessions: Forest Stewardship Considerations (Oct. 2), Fire on the Landscape (Nov. 13) and Financial Practicalities of Owning Forestland (Dec. 11). They will be addressing issues that are only lightly touched on during other education programs.
Registration for the webinar series is at https://surveys.ucanr.edu/survey.cfm?surveynumber=46897.
“A big 'Thank You' to all of the Forest Stewardship participants who helped us identify and prioritize the content of these sessions, and to landowners who will be panelists during the webinars,” said Kim Ingram, forest stewardship education coordinator. “We look forward to hearing your thoughts.”
In addition to the webinars, the team will be producing newsletters, blogs, and 2-page fact sheets to provide additional resources. This newsletter will be focusing on forest stewardship considerations.
