A new website developed by researchers from the UW–Madison College of Agricultural and Life Sciences and UW-Extension teaches foresters how to more effectively work with landowners making management decisions about their lands.

Aimed at foresters who work with woodland owners on a daily basis, ForestryInsights.org provides a combination of blog posts, scientific studies and training materials.

“The content is meant to give foresters the tools they need to effectively communicate best management practices to their clients and work together to use those practices to everyone’s benefit,” says Bret Shaw, UW–Madison associate professor in the Department of Life Sciences Communication and environmental communication specialist for UW-Extension.

Visitors to the website can learn from modules that will help them communicate about a range of topics such as managing for oak trees and urban forestry issues.
