The Woodland Advisor Program is your opportunity to learn about forests and forestry. Classes are generally 3 hours in length. Participants who complete 45 hours of woodland ecology and management classes receive a certificate of completion. Classes also provide foresters and Stewardship Plan preparers with continuing education credit.
Participants who are interested in ongoing educational opportunities after completing 45 hours of classes and want to participate as a volunteer can become a Woodland Advisor Volunteer. Woodland Advisor Volunteers are leaders in their communities. They help their neighbors learn more about the options and opportunities that exist for their forestland. This helps all Minnesota’s citizens by helping to maintain the health, beauty, and productivity of Minnesota’s forest land.
Woodland Advisor is a program of the Minnesota Forestry Association, the University of Minnesota Extension Service, and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry. Partial funding support is provided by the Forest Stewardship Program.
