Online seminar teaches forest owners how to manage their property

REGION —Forest owners and practitioners can learn specific strategies to obtain benefits from forested property without reducing its long-term value via the Cornell University ForestConnect Internet Seminar Series.

The ForestConnect Internet Seminar Series is an interactive web conference. Each seminar uses the Internet to distribute, or webcast, a live and interactive presentation. More than 300 owners and managers from 40 states and three countries are registered and receiving announcements for the monthly webcasts.

Seminars occur on the third Wednesday of each month. Each webcast is provided live, twice. The initial broadcast each month is from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m., followed by a repeat live broadcast the same day from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m.. Participants will connect to a secure Cornell Cooperative Extension server to join the presentation. Participants must pre-register once, without charge, at ForestConnect.info. Email notification of internet URL details will be sent to everyone registered.
