Wisconsin’s
Woodland Leadership Institute is designed to educate and equip
woodland owners and enthusiasts to become
leaders in Wisconsin’s woodland owner organizations and in their
local communities on issues related to forestry, sustainable forest
management, and public policy. Our goal is to
help you become active in these issues at the local,
regional, and statewide levels.
The coursework focuses on the history and development of forestry
and its impact on Wisconsin's social, ecologic and economic health;
current forest management issues and philosophy; the role of
woodland owner organizations in Wisconsin; as well as the
introduction of community outreach and public participation
techniques.
Graduates of the Woodland Leadership Institute are expected to
play an active role as leaders in woodland landowner organizations
and to impact forest management by woodland owners through
peer-to-peer contact and planned activities in their local
community.
