University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point
Forestry Outreach Programs
Annual Report
for 20 06
The first Woodland Leadership Institute
was held in 2001. This was followed the
very next year by the Master Woodland
Steward Program which piloted its
first two series of seminars in 2002.
Since then 204 woodland owners and
enthusiasts have successfully completed
the curriculum of one or both of these
programs.
organizations, habitat conservation
organizations, and environmental
organizations as well as strengthening
existing relationships with our partners
in the Department of Natural Resources
and University of Wisconsin Extension.
It is because of these partnerships that
we have been able to accomplish as much
as we have.
It has been five years since the
University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point's
Forestry Outreach Programs began
its operation and in that time we have
worked to develop programming and
partnerships designed to help woodland
owners understand what sustainable
forest management means, to practice
sustainable forest management on their
lands, to work in their communities to
help their friends and neighbors do the
same and to give them the confidence
and tools that they need to speak out on
the issues that are important to them and
their ability to manage their lands.
Second, the graduates of the Woodland
Leadership institute and the Master
Woodland Steward Program have
been outstanding ambassadors for
sustainable forest management in
Wisconsin. To date Program graduates
have provided almost 3,200 hours of
volunteer service providing leadership
in one of Wisconsin’s woodland owner
organization or to their community.
They have talked about sustainable
forest management to almost 860
individual woodland owners and nearly
1,500 woodland owners at conferences
and workshops and as a result of these
contacts over 130 woodland owners
have taken the next step to practice
sustainable forest management on their
lands totaling over 8,500 acres.
Since it has been five years I thought
that this would be a good time to look
back at what we have accomplished and
also to look forward to what the future
might hold.
First, we would not have been able to
accomplish as much as we have without
the support and assistance of our
partners. One of the hallmarks of the
first five years has been the development
of partnerships with woodland owner
Finally, we continue to develop new
partnerships, to expand our offerings
and reach out to people and groups that
we might not have been able to access
otherwise. To learn more about what
we have accomplished to date and new
partnerships we are pursuing turn the
page and continuing reading...
The purpose of the Woodland
Leadership Institute is to
Woodland Leadership Institute
provide participants with a deeper
understanding of the issues facing
Wisconsin’s forestlands and forest
management philosophies that
emphasize the sustainability and
stewardship of Wisconsin’s forest
resources. The institute accomplishes this
through the seminars, readings, observations
and interviews of community leaders, and
the sharing of ideas and feedback from your
classmates.
Participants in the Institute receive more
than 50 hours of classroom instruction
and presentations in the field from nearly
30 natural resources and extension
professionals. As one graduated noted “the
exposure to forestry and natural resource
conservation issues is reinforced with field
trips that provide a sense of participation
and involvement.”
Additionally, between each seminar
participants are given readings and
homework assignments to help prepare them
for the next seminar. These exercises help
participants to gain a better understanding
of their community and by sharing these
experiences allows their classmates to learn
about the what is happening in different
communities and organizations across the
state.
The Institute has been an important
program for each of Wisconsin’s various
woodland owner organizations. Institute
graduates have played important roles
in the growth and maintenance of these
organizations and have been essential to the
recruitment of each new class that has come
after.
I have heard time and again from the
paid staff and leadership of different
organizations about the value of Institute
graduates to their organization in service,
ideas, and energy. There is no doubt of the
value these organizations place on Institute
graduates and the valuable role that they play
within these organizations. However, given
all these things we have seen a consistent
decline in enrollment in each class over time.
The decline in class size is in some ways
linked to the success of the Institute.
Page 2
90 woodland owners and enthusiasts have
completed the Woodland Leadership
Institute curriculum since its inception in
2001. If you view the leadership roster of
many of our woodland owner organizations
you will see that a large number of those in
leadership roles as graduates of the Institute.
In some ways the decline in class size is
related to the needs of these organizations.
As there are fewer individuals stepping
up into leadership roles from membership
the need becomes the maintenance and
continuing education for Institute graduates
as well as working with these organizations
to identify members who are interested
in participating in the leadership of their
organization.
To help meet the need for continuing
education for Institute graduates we have
been hosting a biannual reunion of Institute
graduates as an opportunity for the folks
from each of the different classes to get
to know each other, to hear updates on
important issues and to learn about what
they have been doing in their community.
We have also added what we refer to as the
fourth seminar which is an Organization
Management workshop. This is a one day
meeting that is designed to help board
members learn how to handle meetings and
the business of their organization.
We are also working with woodland
owner organizations to “market” the
Institute targeting those individuals who
are interested in becoming part of their
organizations leadership as well as those
individuals who are in leadership roles but
who have not participated in the Institute.
Another opportunity that we have
not actively pursued in the past is to
develop relationships with forestry and
allied professional organizations, habitat
conservation organizations, and graduates
from Extension leadership programming
that may have an interest in forestry and
natural resource management. These are a
natural fit for our programming and would
benefit participants by hearing and seeing
different points of view.
We are also working with University of
Minnesota Extension to open the program
to members of the Minnesota Forestry
Association and to create opportunities for
cross border cooperation with surrounding
states.
Sustainability and Stewardship of
Wisconsin’s Forest Resources
The objective of the first seminar is for participants
to gain an understanding of the history of forest
management in Wisconsin and its ecologic, economic,
and social impacts; as well as an understanding of
family forest landowners and the role they play in
managing Wisconsin forest lands.
Sustainable Forest Management
in Wisconsin
The objective of the second seminar is to gain an
understanding of the trends and issues affecting
the management of private woodlands in
Wisconsin; and to gain an understanding of the
resources, both technical and financial, available
to forest landowners and the role they play in the
management of Wisconsin’s forests.
Examples of Citizen Led Conservation and
Leadership in Landowner Organizations
The objective of the third seminar is to have
participants learn the skills that leaders must employ
to gain citizen/membership involvement in decision
making on natural resource management issues
through examples of citizen led conservation efforts.
Participants also gain insights on managing conflict
and finding opportunities for Collaboration and
partnerships.

Reaching out to their communities and
other woodland owners
Woodland Leadership Institute
Woodland Leadership Institute graduates are required to develop personal goals
outlining how they will use what they have learned to address real issues in their
community. Each person develops their goals based on their personal interests,
organizations that they are involved with and the needs of their community.
Page 4
Graduates of the Woodland Leadership Institute have provided almost 1,700 hours of volunteer
service hosting workshops or gatherings on their land; writing articles for a newspaper, newsletter
or magazine; talking with woodland owners and woodland owner organizations about sustainable
forest management; and participating in local government hearings or board meetings.
Institute graduates have worked directly with almost 600 woodland owners of which over 260
have initiated contacts with forest management professionals or woodland owner organizations
and 90 have taken the first steps toward practicing sustainable forest management on over 4,200
acres of forest land.
These folks have also been active participants and speakers talking to over 1,100 woodland
owners at conferences and workshops and hosting nearly 20 workshops on their lands. They have
also been actively engaged in legislative issues and participating in over 140 legislative or local
government hearings and board meetings.
The graph below shows how they have used what they have learned as participants in the Institute

Association
Page 6
The Wisconsin Woodland Owners
Association (WWOA) has been a strong
supporter of the Woodland Leadership
Institute recommending the Institute to
members interested in serving in leadership
positions. This, in turn, has contributed to a
number of graduates taking active leadership
within WWOA.
Eight graduates have served on WWOA’s
Board of Directors with 5 serving on the
Executive and two serving as President. Six
others have served on various standing and adhoc committees of the Board. Additionally,
there are currently three Institute graduates
running as candidates for the Board of
Directors.
Graduates have also been very active at the
chapter level. Thirteen graduates have served
as chapter chairs, five have served on their
local Chapter Board and six have served on
various chapter committees. Graduates have
also been active members of the Wisconsin
Woodland Owners Association’s Foundation
with one graduate serving on the Foundation’s
Board of Directors.
Wisconsin Family Forests
Woodland leadership Institute graduates
have been instrumental in the start up and
leadership of four of Wisconsin Family
Forests’ (WFF) Alliances. Five graduates
have served as Alliance Presidents and three
graduates have served on the WFF Board and
Executive Committee.
Gerry Mich, Class of 2002, currently serves as
the WFF Executive Director.
American Tree Farm System
Woodland Leadership institute graduates have
also been an integral part of the American
Tree Farm System both nationally and in
Wisconsin. Six graduates of the program
have been named Wisconsin’s Outstanding
Tree Farmer of the Year, three have been
named Regional Outstanding Tree Farmer of
the Year, and two have been named National
Outstanding Tree Farmer of the Year. Three
graduates currently serve on the American
Tree Farm System’s National Operating
Committee and eight graduates serve on the
Wisconsin Tree Farm Executive including
one graduate who serves as the southern
region chair and another who served on the
Executive committee.
Wisconsin Forestry Cooperatives
Woodland Leadership Institute graduates
have also been active in Wisconsin’s Forestry
Cooperatives. Graduates of the program
have served on the Board as well as the Board
Chair of the Sustainable Woods Cooperative.
Two graduates have also served on the Living
Forest Cooperative’s Board. Additionally,
staff from both the Living forest Cooperative
and the Prairie Ridge Forest Stewardship
Cooperative have also graduated from the
Institute.
Advisory Councils and Boards
A number of graduates have served or are
serving on various state, federal and University
mandated boards and advisory councils that
require forest landowner participation. More
than a dozen have served or are currently
serving in some capacity on these Boards,
Committees or Councils.
Woodland Leadership Institute
Class of 2004
“The exposure to both professionals and practices has greatly broadened my woodland knowledge and
perspectives. The follow through and implementation for my private woodlands has been significant
but also I have been able to utilize many skills gained from the Woodland Leadership Institute in
related areas of personal interest, community service and in state government.”
“The Woodland Leadership Institute has opened the door for my involvement with Wisconsin
Family Forests. It made me realize that others had helped me over the years with my woods and
taught me a lot. It is now time to offer to help others.”

The purpose of the Master
Woodland Steward Program
Master Woodland Steward Program
is to offer training for woodland
owners who are interested in
learning more about sustainable
forest management practices and
becoming better stewards of their land.
Page 8
Participants in the Master Woodland
Steward Program received more than
36 hours of classroom instruction and
presentations in the field from over a dozen
financial, natural resources and Extension
professionals. The program continues to be
well received and as one participant noted
“I guess the only thing that I would change
would be to add another day. There is so
much to learn and so many great instructors
that I felt cheated because we were always
cut short on time.”
Participant are also expected to put into
practice on their lands what they learn in
the classroom through a series of homework
assignments that participants complete
between each seminar. The purpose of
the homework assignments are to help
landowners learn more about the resources
available to help them manage their lands
as they practice the skills they learn in
class and become more familiar with the
woodlands that they own.
One of the keys to the Master Woodland
Steward Program success to date has been
the development of relationships with
organizations that have similar goals as
ours. These partnerships have enabled us
to develop programming that is consistent
with the goals of their organization and
meets the needs of their staff, membership,
and clientele which in turn has generated
support from these organizations for our
programs and assistance in promoting and
hosting seminars.
An excellent example of this is the
partnership that we have developed with
the Seno Woodland Education Center.
Working with Kendra Johncock, Education
Director, the Seno Center has hosted the
Master Woodland Steward Program in 2003
and 2005 with plans to host it there again in
2007.
The Master Woodland Steward Program
compliments the existing woodland owner
education programs that the Seno Center
offers and working with them provides us
with access to a facility and staff that has an
excellent reputation in the southeast part of
the state.
Through these types of partnerships we have
been able to expand our offerings and reach
out to people and groups that we might not
have been able to access otherwise and it has
reinforced the idea that continued growth
and success will come through pursuing
these types of partnerships.
To that end we are currently pursuing
partnerships with the Wisconsin Forest
Resources Education Alliance, the Aldo
Leopold Foundation’s Woodland School
as well as partnerships with woodland
owner organizations like the Living Forest
Cooperative and several Chapters of the
Wisconsin Woodland Owners Association.
These partnerships provide us with the
opportunity to expand our ability to reach
out to woodland owners who might never
know or hear about our programs in any
other way at the same time build working
relationships that are mutually beneficial
rather than offer competing programs that
only reduce our potential client base and
drive up costs for participants.
We have also been working to develop
conferences and workshops that offer
Program graduates the opportunity
to continue their education and cover
topics that we are not able to adequately
address as a part of the Program. We are
currently piloting three new workshops
for woodland owners this year; The Tree
Planter’s Workshop, an Estate Planning
Workshop, and a chainsaw safety workshop
all as partnerships with woodland owner
organizations.
The Master Woodland Steward Program
The curriculum combines classroom instruction
and outdoor experiences to teach participants the
basics of forest ecology and silviculture, managing
woodlands for aesthetics, recreation, and wildlife
habitat, planning a successful timber harvest,
business decision and planning tools, as well as
sources of technical and financial assistance.
New courses and
curriculum
New partnerships
like the Tree Planter’s
Workshop are designed
as elective courses to
provide opportunities
for Master Woodland
Stewards to continue
their education and
learn more about
forestry and sustainable
forest management
issues not currently
covered in the
Curriculum.
The Tree Planter’s
Workshop was a
partnership with the
Wisconsin Woodland
Owners Association’s
Central Sands Chapter.
The workshop was
held at Big Flats to
address the needs of the
survivors of the 2005
Cottonville Fire.
The goal of Wisconsin’s Master Woodland Steward Program is to:
Provide information and educate private forest
landowners on forest processes and the basics of
sustainable forest management practices;
Provide information and educate private forest
landowners about professional technical assistance
and cost–share options that are available to help
develop stewardship plans to implement practices;
Reach a greater number of Wisconsin’s 290,000
private woodland owners through the activities of
the program’s graduates as they pass on what they
have learned to their communities, neighbors,
and peers about forest ecosystems and sustainable
forest management practices.

Master woodland Steward Program participants are asked to evaluate their knowledge
of the topics that are covered in each seminar prior to participating in the program and
as a part of the overall program evaluation after graduating.

As a result of participating in the Master Woodland Steward Program a majority of graduates have
developed working relationships with forestry professionals and woodland owner organizations.
63 percent of participants report establishing a relationship with a DNR forester and 42 percent
report establishing a relationship with a private consulting forester. Additionally, 59 percent report
becoming members of a woodland owner organization, 25 percent have joined a habitat conservation
organization and 13 percent have joined a wood cooperative.
Another significant
change was in

felt that they knew
nothing about forest
management while
36 percent felt they
had sufficient skills to

Changes in attitude and action
“I have a better understanding of all the pieces involved
in maintaining land for the future.”
“I found the course to be very motivating such that I have
become more aggressive in my management.”
“The management of the land is much more intense
and detail oriented with an expanded awareness
and set of goals which the master Woodland Steward
Program is responsible for.”
“I am more concerned about active management
especially identification and removal of invasive
species. The MWS program discussions opened my
understanding that our management plan was a
document to be continually revisited and updated as
we learned more about best management practices.”
“I am now more aware of how a forest interacts with
recreation, wildlife, and the production of good wood
products. Growing trees is more than just letting nature
takes its course. Good management can improve the
final financial outcome and still have good recreation and
wildlife opportunities.”

Reaching out to their communities and
other woodland owners
Graduates of the Master Woodland Steward Program are expected to work in their
communities both as role models and through planned projects to help their friends,
neighbors, and community better understand sustainable forest management.
Master Woodland Steward Program
Over 75 percent of graduates have changed the way they manage their lands because of
participating in the Master Woodland Steward Program and are now practicing sustainable forest
management on nearly 15,000 acres of forest land in Wisconsin.
Graduates of the Master Woodland Steward Program have provided almost 1,500 hours of
volunteer service hosting workshops or gatherings on their land; writing articles for a newspaper,
newsletter or magazine; talking with woodland owners and woodland owner organizations about
sustainable forest management; and participating in local government hearings or board meetings.
Master woodland Steward Program graduates have been actively promoting sustainable forest
management talking to over 417 woodland owners at conferences and working directly with
almost 250 woodland owners of which nearly 30 have initiated contacts with forest management
professionals or woodland owner organizations and over 40 have taken the first steps toward
practicing sustainable forest management on over 4,300 acres of forest land.

Getting started
One way to help program graduates get a handle
on outreach and talking with other woodland
owners is to have them host a field day as their
class graduation project.
Here Marsha Kray talks to a group at the Seno
Woodland Education Center’s 2003 Field Day
about soil and value of having a soil analysis done
before buying or incorporating soil amendments.
Basic ideas
Participants are asked to
think about the topics
that are covered as a
part of the curriculum
and develop a short
presentation that they
can present to other
woodland owners.

Thoughts from our graduates...
How has involvement in one of UWSP’s Forestry
Outreach Programs changed the way you manage
your woodlands?
“I have taken keener interest and become more
involved both in management decisions and hands on
implementation.”
“I am now using my property for educational purposes
and I am also keeping up with my plan better than
before.”
“I use ideas in management gained from the Program
and from other Program participants.”
UW - Stevens
Point’s Forestry
Outreach Programs
is a partnership of
the University of
Wisconsin Stevens
Point, University of
Wisconsin Extension,
Wisconsin Department
of Natural Resources
and Wisconsin's
woodland owner
organizations. The
Forestry Outreach
Program owes a
debt of gratitude
to the members
of its Advisory
and Curriculum
Committees for their
efforts to assist the
Program Director in
the development and
implementation of
these programs and the
continuing effort to
improve the content of
these programs.
What has participating in the Woodland
Leadership Institute meant to you?
“If you have any passion about being a woodland
steward, if you have any interest in learning more
about forestry, or if you want to see how you can use
your own power to help change the world in a positive
way - check this out!”
Most importantly were the varied viewpoints and
opinions brought to the group from the participants
and presenters.
“A valuable personal experience that teaches not only
forestry and conservation but also leadership and
organizational skills.”
