Master Tree Farmer 2008 Mini-series:
Risks and Risk Management
September 9, 16 and 23; 7-10 PM ET (6-9 CT) at participating locations
Risks exist with every endeavor we face in life and this is certainly true with forest management. This 3-session shortcourse, hosted by Clemson University and broadcast via satellite across the South, will concentrate on the risks associated with forest management and allow landowners and natural resource professionals to consider how they can manage forests and forestland to plan for and minimize problems they may face.
Forest management experts will present the latest information on risk management topics. They will also be available via 1-800 phone lines and the Internet to answer questions that landowners and natural resource professionals have about these issues.
In Florida this program is a collaborative effort by UF-IFAS Extension and Florida Division of Forestry. Questions can be directed to Benjamin Koubek, (352) 846-2374, flboy275@ufl.edu or Chris Demers, cdemers@ufl.edu, (352) 846-2375 .
