      Florida Land Steward Webinar Recording: Woodlot Management Options
      Recorded August 19, 2025; 2:00 pm ET

      Provided by UF/IFAS Extension and Florida Land Steward Program with UF/IFAS Forestry and Natural Resources Extension Agent, Ian Stone presenting. The term "woodlot" is sometimes used to describe smaller forest properties where the more traditional, larger-scale approaches to forest management may not be feasible. Managing a woodlot is all about finding solutions that work at your scale. Alternative enterprises, alternative methods, doing some things yourself, and establishing a network of other landowners and available resources are key to successful woodlot management. Watch the recording of this webinar at the link above.

      Florida Land Steward Webinar Recording: Is it Time to Thin Your Timber Stand?
      Presented for a live audience and recorded August 22, 2024 at 2:00 pm ET.
      Provided by UF/IFAS Extension and Florida Land Steward Program. An important part of tending your timber stand is managing the density of the trees. Thinning your timber stand removes unhealthy and low quality trees and focuses the site resources on the best trees. Thinning can bring increased return on investment from the sale of higher-value forest products; periodic income from the multiple harvests that lead to those higher-value forest products; improved access for equipment, people, and wildlife; a healthy, vigorous forest with less risk of insect infestation, and destructive fire; and enhanced wildlife habitat. See the link above to view the recording of this webinar.

      Florida Land Steward Partner Webinar: Pesticide Recordkeeping
      Recorded April 21, 2021

      This webinar is provided by the UF/IFAS Florida Land Steward Program in cooperation with the North Central Florida Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area, UF/IFAS Pesticide Information Office, and Florida Tree Farm Program. We provide some guidance for landowners and land managers in keeping records of pesticide use. The American Tree Farm System's 2021 Standards of Sustainability include a new pesticide documentation requirement to meet the standards of forest certification. This webinar will help Tree Farmers understand the benefits of keeping pesticide (including herbicide) use records and meet the requirements of the certification standard.
