Woodland Options for Landowners

The Virginia Forest Landowner Education Program
This 12-week, self-paced course will allow you to gain an introductory level understanding of basic forest management principles and techniques and to use this understanding to become better land stewards. It is intended for private forest landowners of any acreage; this course is not intended for forest landowners who have substantial experience working alone or with natural resource professionals in the management of their forests. Teachers, local leaders, and interested citizens are also welcome to join.

An optional end-of-semester field trip will allow students to hone their new skills and interact with one another and natural resource professionals. The 2021 field trip will be held at James Madison’s Montpelier in Montpelier Station this fall.

Begins July 12
