About this event

This non-credit course is designed for individuals wishing to increase their understanding of forests and forest management. Specifically, the course targets Maryland forest landowners and other citizens with an interest in the principles and practices of forestry. There are no prerequisites; however, owning or having access to a forest is necessary to complete the framework of the required management plan.

The course is divided into six units, with each unit containing several lessons. In the online version, as a review, there is a quiz containing several questions at the end of each lesson. There are also assignments following most lessons. Resource information is located in the appendices.

The registration fee covers all the materials for the course including: electronic text, appendices, and lesson quizzes; paper copies of the supplemental readings (A Sand County Almanac, American Forests: A History of Resiliency and Recovery, and The Woodland Steward: A Practical Guide to the Management of Small Private Forests); and a tree identification brochure entitled What Tree is That? (paper copies of materials will be sent upon registration). Students enrolled in the course will receive a flash drive of the course text and appendices as a reference for use after the course has ended.
