Description:
In fall of 2020, The Woods in Your Backyard Partnership offered a multi-state program for Green Industry Professionals to gain knowledge and skills useful for providing additional services to clientele with small acreage properties. The Advanced Level II webinar series will provide four weeks of in-depth training with two evening webinars per week from February 23 to March 18 on the following topics: 1) wildlife habitat enhancement and conflicts; 2) residential riparian buffer installation and maintenance; 3) woodland health practices and harvesting; and 4) managing competing and invasive vegetation and non-herbicide controls.
Natural area management services can enhance existing natural areas or create new ones from existing lawn areas. Known as “land care practices”, they include invasive plant identification and control, controlling damaging vines, converting lawn areas to woodland using tree seedlings and shelters, enhancing wildlife habitat enhancement, trail construction and other practices.
A resource manual & specialized checklist tool developed to complement the training helps Green Industry professionals determine which enhancement practices are suitable for a given property/site. A certificate of completion provided for each webinar can be used to secure continuing education credits from various organizations.
The Woods in Your Backyard Partnership: includes the University of Maryland Extension, Penn State Extension, Virginia Cooperative Extension, Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay, and Virginia Dept. of Forestry
This project is funded by the Harry R. Hughes Center for Agro-Ecology.
