There is a shortage of forestry training programs available at the K-12 and community/technical college level in Kentucky. Our educational team created a Kentucky ForstryWorks high school curriculum to provide a resource for Kentucky teachers. Kentucky ForestryWorks is an educational training and certificate program focused on forestry, wood industry and logging career opportunities and skillsets. The educational committee is working on upcoming educational opportunities and resources available for high school students and teachers to learn more about the hardwood forests of Kentucky and the related career fields. Kentucky ForestryWorks is a partnership between UK Forestry Extension, Kentucky Division of Forestry, and Kentucky Forest Industries Association. We successfully put on our first teacher training in May. Application for the field course at Robinson Forest are ongoing for summer 2025. Students will have the opportunity to explore forestry and related industry careers.
