Woodland Steward Series Website
The Woodland Steward Series is an extension of the Biltmore Forest School, the first school of forestry in North America, begun by Carl Schenck in 1898 and commemorated by the Cradle of Forestry in America Historic Site in Pisgah National Forest. It is a series of workshops designed to equip landowners with the tools and resources necessary to manage their land in an environmentally sustainable manner....
When the Woodland Steward Series was launched in 2003, the Biltmore Forest School was reopened so that participants in the workshops held throughout North Carolina were officially considered to be students of the historic Biltmore Forest School. The workshops were comprised of lectures, hands-on sessions, and follow-up assignments for participants to complete on their land. The focus is still to share the tools and resources needed to help landowners set and reach their woodland management goals.
The workshop information, including PowerPoint presentations from the speakers, handouts, and related website links, has been compiled here. Whether you own one acre, a thousand acres, or work with woodland landowners, you'll find information here that applies to you. Visiting each page of the Landowner section should give you a broad overview of land management while the Trainer pages detailing the workshops are designed to each contain the information necessary to hold one of the four workshops in the series.
The Woodland Steward Series website contains all of the workshop information via links to handouts and websites and all the training materials for those throughout the region who would be interested in holding the workshops in their areas.
