Master Tree Farmer 2004

The 2004 Master Tree Farmer Program is an intensive educational program designed to introduce landowners to many of the topics associated with forest management. The programs are not designed to make landowners into foresters but to acquaint landowners with forestry terms and concepts so they can effectively converse with foresters about the management of their property. We have documented that landowners are more willing to see forestry practiced on their land when they understand why things are done.

The Master Tree Farmer courses are the only satellite broadcasts of their kind for forest landowners throughout the South. Each participating state land grant university has a coordinator making arrangements for their programs. Clemson University serves as the host for the programs. Forestry professionals from universities, private and public organizations participate as instructors and presenters. Broadcasts are live from Clemson to viewing locations around the south.
