Major Program: Forestry Industry Education
Outcome: Initial Outcome
I conducted 7 of these workshops 4/16/2019, 6/4/2019, 7/10/2019, 7/31/2019, 9/21/2019, 11/15/2019, and 12/9/2019. During the workshops we explained why these species of woods were chosen to produce these products. We also discussed/provided general information pertaining to forestry practices in Kentucky including the Kentucky Forest Conservation Act, food from the forest, 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. These were hands-on workshops and each participant got the opportunity to router, sand, laser engrave, and finish their own products. In addition, one of the programs included a wildlife educational program.
