Webinar information

This webinar will introduce a decision support tool developed to help landowners, extension professionals, foresters, and natural resource practitioners evaluate trade-offs across timber production, wildlife habitat, and integrated management in loblolly pine stands. The tool allows users to compare management scenarios for timber, deer, turkey, quail, and integrated timber-wildlife objectives by adjusting stand conditions, silvicultural treatments, and economic assumptions. Participants will learn how to use the tool, interpret, and summarize key outputs such as optimal harvest age, land expectation value, stand yield, and financial returns in a clear and practical format.
