Planning Unit: Forestry
Major Program: Forest Education: Health, Management, and Utilization
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
The White Oak Initiative’s Landowners for Oaks (LFO) Series was completed in 2022 and has since provided forest landowners and others with foundational information necessary for sustainable management of white oak and upland oak forests. These publications were designed to inform forest landowners of the overall importance of white oak and upland oak management. The series, currently numbering 11 publications, is a valuable educational and informative resource for foresters and forest managers across the vast range of white oak (over 20 states) to utilize in landowner education events such as farm field days, workshops, and other outreach efforts.
Foresters, forest managers, and forest educators across the entire range of white oak are accessing the LFO series for use in a variety of educational events involving white oak and upland oak forests. State agencies make use of the publications to relay white oak management through news articles, magazines, and other outreach methods. The LFO publications continue to appear in a variety of out-of-state newsletters, news articles, and magazines, including wide reaching magazines such as the National Woodland Owners Association’s Woodlands Magazine.
