As the UVM Professional Credential earners wrapped up two years of hard work, they emphasized how valuable this program was to their careers and companies. The courses they completed gave them a deeper understanding of common obstacles in UVM programs and strengthened their credibility with their supervisors and stakeholders.
Join a team of researchers and practitioners as we explore the Argonne Experimental Forest and discuss incorporating elements of old-growth forest into forest management. Through presentations and field tours we will cover:
Elements of old-growth habitat and silvicultural treatments to obtain them
This is the first course in a comprehensive training program in utility vegetation management (UVM). Industry professionals will lead you through the knowledge and skills needed to plan and manage sustainable UVM program plans. This course will provide the required introductory knowledge necessary for moving through the remaining courses in the UVM certificate program.
How can foresters find success with tree regeneration in the face of deer browse? On this episode of SilviCast we explore the innovative strategy of "slash walls," or the use of logging residue to form deer barriers around regenerating stands. Guests Peter Smallidge, New York State Extension forester, Brett Chedzoy, regional Extension forester at Cornell, and Jason Hennes, forest ranger with the Wisconsin DNR, explore the ins and outs of slash walls. CEUs/CFEs available!
