Evaluation from 2019 Series:
In February and March, 2019, forestry and natural resource professionals from Cooperative Extension programs in the southeast US, in collaboration with university, state, and federal partners, delivered a regional education program for woodland owners. The goal of the program was to empower woodland owners to promote environmental and forest health through increased awareness, experience and access to resources. The series included four sessions conducted over four weeks. County and regional agents from participating states hosted landowner groups while speakers presented via webinar software. Over the four-week period, up to 13 states representing as many as 70 sites, tuned into the webinar series, with an average of over 380 registrants per session. Over 90% of the sites were across six states, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
