Accomplishments

Impacts

1. Activities: The state’s agree to share the products that they are developing for distant learning as we all face the geographic problem that forest landowners are widely scattered and much harder to bring together than farmers. Milestones: We will use the upcoming August 2016 meeting in Utah as a target for each state and National Forest Research Station to prepare updates on the shared themes – positive response to increasing wildfire hazards, improvements in distance learning, and potential synergies between forest management, fire hazard reduction and forest based climate benefits. Indicators: FIA statistics and report at each state will represent the most objective assessment of achievement across the goals. An intermediate indicator is the integration of the roles of forestry extension in state level forest policy and forest funding documents.
