This initiative aims to connect the rapidly changing demographic of private forest landowners in Virginia, with 68% of the 120,000 owners being new or unreached. By organizing two-day conferences that cover various topics, we help landowners identify stewardship actions, network with peers, and engage with natural resource professionals. Our efforts have resulted in approximately 684 participants annually, with about 66% being new to natural resource education and 89% implementing learned practices on their land. Join us in enhancing forest land use and conservation!
