Penn State Natural Resources Extension Unveils Online Forestry Seminar Series

The Pennsylvania Forests Web Seminar Center will offer one-hour online, live presentations by experts in a variety of fields related to the stewardship and issues of Pennsylvania's forest resources.

 

The online seminars offer a chance for landowners, extension educators, and natural resources professionals to learn and gain resources to enhance their own practices.

 

Live seminars are scheduled for the second Tuesday of every month at noon and 7 p.m., skipping July and August.

 

The kickoff web seminar, "Introduction to the PA Forests Web Seminar Series: Pennsylvania’s Private Forest Landowners and the Issues They Face," occurred on October 14.

 

Future topics include: timber taxation; oil, gas, and mineral leasing; harvesting; timber sales and markets; wildlife habitat; invasive insects; succession planning; invasive plants; forest management and regeneration; and water resources on your forestland.

 

Each session will be recorded and loaded onto the Web Seminar Center along with a copy of the presentation and any handouts. So, if you are unable to participate in the "live" session, a recording of it will be available for you to view at your convenience.

 

Of course, none of the interactive elements will be available when watching the recording. To view the upcoming seminars schedule and to register to take part in the live seminars, visit the Web Seminar Center.
