This program aids Kentucky woodland owners in forest resource management,offering online and in-person options. Live session recordings will be available, with participants able to choose between online-only or online plus a field session, each featuring a regional Woodland Owner Resource Extravaganza.

The first WOSC was held in 2004 and consisted of a series of four field days spread out across Kentucky. Since the first offering in 2004, the Kentucky Woodland Owners Short Course has been modified over the years based largely on the feedback from stakeholders and attendees. Over the years, thousands of woodland owners have attended the WOSC and learned how they can make their woodland healthier and more productive.

The online sessions are intended to provide a virtual classroom based learning environment while also preparing WOSC attendees to get the most out of the field sessions.
