Major Program: Forestry Industry Education
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
I conducted 4 of these workshops, 9/22/2018, 10/18/2018 4/16/19, and 6/4/2019. 148 people attended these workshops. Each participant made their own product and was able to customize it with lettering using the laser engraver. During the workshop we explained why these species of woods were chosen to produce these products. During these workshops I discussed/provided general information pertaining to forestry practices in Kentucky including the Forest Conservation Act and its impact on our forest and the economic impact the Forest Products Industry has on Kentucky’s economy. I also discussed the impact each species has on the industry, the characteristics and qualities each one processes, and the abundance and health of each species. The bird house and bird feeders workshops include a wildlife presentation. These were hands-on workshops and each participant got the opportunity to router, sand, laser engrave, and finish their own products.
