Agroforestry
PA Agroforestry: Learning, Connecting, Getting it Done
Open to view video.
Open to view video. Learn about the recent successes of the fledgling PA Agroforestry Program and how you can take those ideas back to your neck of the woods: In particular, we will discuss our very first agroforestry-based stewardship plan and an Agroforestry training for technical service providers that benefitted the entire Northeast region. Presented by Rachel Reyna, PA DCNR Bureau of Forestry
Private Forestry: Family Forest Owners
Landowner Support of Voluntary Projects to Restore Salmon Habitat in Oregon
Open to view video.
Open to view video. Forest landowners in the Oregon have been voluntarily restoring salmon habitat since the mid-1990s. However, the number of voluntary projects reported by landowners has decreased in recent years. We present survey results that describe forest landowners’ current support of voluntary projects and possible reasons for the decline. Presented by Daniel Olson, Oregon Department of Forestry
Business Practices Among Oregon Family Forestland Owners
Open to view video.
Open to view video. A summary of business practices common among small forestland owners in Oregon. The study aims to draw comparisons between the business practices of investment-oriented and non-investment oriented forestland owners. The results of this study will provide information on common business practices among family forestland owners. Presented by Brenton French, Oregon State University
Woodland Owner Engagement Research and Practice: A Brief Review
Open to view video.
Open to view video. A discussion of the history and current state of American woodland owner information and assistance programs; the predominant research frames that underpin those programs, including rational choice theory, innovation diffusion, typology development, and network theories; and novel strategies that have emerged in recent years. Presented by Eli Sagor, University of Minnesota
Family Forest Owners in the Wisconsin Northwoods: Outreach and Engagement Strategies
Open to view video.
Open to view video. Forestry professionals and family forest owners may perceive issues, programs, and engagement strategies differently. This research examines how tools being used in northern Wisconsin to reach landowners are perceived and identifies programs and communication approaches likely to be successful.  Presented by Melinda Vokoun, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point
Strengthening Partnership, Building Capacity, and Fostering Learning with Evaluation
Open to view video.
Open to view video. Are you interested in learning techniques for evaluating your partnership to improve capacity to reach private landowners? If so, the Driftless Forest Network has insights to share from five years of experience that are transferable and will help you to foster a continuous learning environment. Presented by Alanna Koshollek, Aldo Leopold Foundation
Woodcock and Warblers: Using Interest in Wildlife to Engage Private Forest Landowners
Open to view video.
Open to view video. In an attempt to halt and reverse the decline in quality and quantity of early successional habitat, the Wisconsin Young Forest Partnership works to engage private landowners not currently managing their forests. We use their interest in wildlife species to open a dialogue where we offer assistance, expertise and financial resources. Presented by Jeremy Holtz, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
Target Marketing to Private Forest Landowners for Turkey Habitat Management
Open to view video.
Open to view video. The National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) will be using targeted marketing concepts to encourage private forest landowners to actively manage forests for the benefit of wild turkeys and associated species in the Driftless Area. We show how understanding target audience motivation is crucial in guiding landowners towards active management. Presented by Rick Horton, National Wild Turkey Federation
Effectively Reaching Unengaged Woodland Owners through My Wisconsin Woods
Open to view video.
Open to view video. Since 2011, the Driftless Forest Network used social marketing tools and techniques to effectively reach unengaged woodland owners through My Wisconsin Woods. Lessons learned demonstrate the value of message, materials, communication channel, promotions, and demographic and psychographic data. Presented by Steve Swenson, Aldo Leopold Foundation
University of Wisconsin Extension Landowner Engagement Strategies in the Drifltess Area
Open to view video.
Open to view video. The UW Extension has formed a strong dependent partnership with federal, state, and private organizations using social marketing tools. These tools are used to directly solicit private woodland owners in promoting conservation management of their lands. This organization is called the Driftless Forest Network (DFN). Presented by Randy Mell, UW Extension
Pathways to Progress in Landowner Engagement Strategies: Applied Insights and Panel Discussion
Open to view video.
Open to view video. Promising insights have been gained through research and examples of targeted engagement campaigns that have been used to reach specific audiences and address priority ecological outcomes. We will highlight a novel approach to designing targeted messages and will provide an opportunity for a full group discussion with session panel members. Presented by Tricia Knoot, Wisconsin DNR
Assessing Differences Among Private Forest Owners: The Impact of ‘Legacy’ Ownerships
Open to view video.
Open to view video. We utilized survey data in the southern US to examine multi-generational ownerships and assessed how they differ from first generation owners in terms of objectives, demographics, and management behavior. Even though we found few socio-demographic differences among owner group, significant differences were observed in ownership objectives and management. Presented by Donald Hodges, University of Tennessee
Urban & Community Forestry
The "10-20-30 Rule" Revisited: Is it a Useful Standard for Urban Forest Diversity?
Open to view video.
Open to view video. Since 1990, the “10-20-30 rule” has become the de facto standard for urban forest diversity.  A quarter-century after the “rule” was first proposed, analyses show that most urban forests fail to meet its standards.  If almost no municipality can meet the standard, is it a useful guideline for urban foresters? Presented by Mark Ambrose, NC State University
Regional Goals - Local Action
Open to view video.
Open to view video. The Chicago Region Trees Initiative (CRTI) is a collaborative partnership across 7 counties in the Chicago region to improve the urban forest. CRTI has created one of the most extensive data sets on urban forestry in country and is using this information to support regional goals at the local scale. Presented by Lydia Scott, Chicago Region Trees Initiative (The Morton Arboretum)
Estimating the Willingness to Preserve Open Space in Coastal Waterfronts
Open to view video.
Open to view video. This study evaluated the citizens’ willingness to preserve open space in coastal region of Mississippi and Alabama. A CVM was employed to estimate citizens' willingness to pay to support open space preservation. Results will help guide local elected officials in maintaining a balance between urban development and waterfront development. Presented by Ram Dahal, Mississippi State University
Urban Forest Assessments and Urban Tree Use: Lessons Learned from MN, NC, and VA

Open to view video. This presentation provides an introduction to the clustering concept of economic development and addresses some of the key findings from recent urban forest policy and program studies completed in three states: Minnesota, North Carolina, and Virginia.
