Forestry education website updated

Portland, Ore. — The Partnership for Forestry Education has updated its KnowYourForest.org website, which serves as a gateway to the information, tools and educational opportunities available to Oregon’s forest landowners.

The Oregon Forest Resources Institute (OFRI), founding member of the Partnership for Forestry Education, worked in close collaboration with partnership members, which include government, nonprofit and private organizations, to update the website and ensure it provides the most current information and educational resources available to forest landowners. Visitors to the site can find information on topics such as forest management planning, forest health, wildlife and forest habitat, timber harvest and sale, and forest protection laws. The updated website also includes an assistance map aimed at helping landowners across Oregon easily access information about agencies, organizations and other groups offering forestry assistance in their local areas, along with a calendar of upcoming forestry education events offered by partnership members. 

OFRI led this most recent update to the site, which went live in late August. Additional funding for the project was provided in part by a U.S. Forest Service grant for small forest landowner education administered through the Oregon Department of Forestry.
