Every Acre Counts KY (EACKY)

Author: Jacob Muller

Planning Unit: Forestry

Major Program: Forest Education: Health, Management, and Utilization

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Every Acre Counts KY (EACKY) is a developing state-wide community of practice that utilizes partnerships with organizations who engage woodland owners, with the goal of facilitating active forest management stewardship on forested acres in Kentucky. Advancing active management among woodland owners in Kentucky could include opportunities like technical assistance, workshops, publications, resource hubs, and other knowledge-sharing or resource-oriented opportunities. The partners are invited to participate in fostering a community of practice around engaging woodland owners on active management topics, especially those aligning with the goals in the 2020 Kentucky Forest Action Plan and the USDA Forest Stewardship Program broadlyThese partners will include federal and state agencies, academic institutions, non-profit organizations, and community-based groups whose insight and input will be used to create a network and resource hub accessible to all EACKY participants. These products will also be publicly available upon initial completion for use by other organizations who may find these resources valuable in their woodland owner engagement efforts. The end products will serve as a communal touchstone and a springboard for future active management engagement with private woodland owners in Kentucky.
