File Fire in the Forest: Good and Bad
The mention of fire in the forest usually creates visions of devastating walls of flames, clouds of billowing smoke, smoldering tree trunks, and burned bodies of animals trapped in the flames. Although this concept may sometimes be tree of wildfires, it is certainly not true of all fires, especially prescribed fire.

File Louisiana Natural Resources Symposium - July 2005
ForewardThis proceedings represents the culmination of an extensive planning process to organizeand hold the Louisiana Natural Resources Symposium. For many years the School ofRenewable Natural Resources hosted the premiere forestry education event in the U.S.South, then known as the LSU Forestry Symposium. That symposium series has beeninactive for several years, but a recent surge of interest has allowed us to reinstitute thesymposium. The new symposium came with a new title that is more contemporary andreflective of the integration of all the natural resource disciplines. Accordingly, the topicsand sessions of the symposium were selected to include the broad array of naturalresource policy, management, and utilization issues that are critically important in thesoutheastern U.S. We hope to make this a recurring event and welcome your feedback.

File 5th Natural Resource Extension Professionals Conference 2006
 
Publication 5th Natural Resource Extension Professionals Conference
The conference theme is finding the "ability" in sustainability. The issues surrounding sustainability, what it means, and what it looks like, are gaining increased attention both domestically and internationally. A variety of interpretations, definitions and opinions surround the ways in which it is approached at local, state, national, and international scales. However, it is becoming an increasingly important topic, and the Cooperative Extension System, to remain relevant, must be at the forefront of sustainability education efforts.
