Welcome to the home page for the coastal version of the Woodland Management in Western Oregon Shortcourse!

Coastal Counties Woodland Management Webinar Series – Fall 2021 (Date and time to be announced)

This shortcourse is offered by Oregon State University’s Forestry and Natural Resources (FNR) Extension agents serving western Oregon. During this course we will address woodland conditions of western Oregon and add regional flavor according to the Counties served by the FNR agents hosting each shortcourse in their region. 

This seven-session course is ideal for people who are new to taking care of a woodland or forested property. The class provides a broad introduction to woodland types, tending practices, and terminology to help you take care of your property and get things done.
