Outputs
Target Audience:RREA programs at The University of Georgia, administered by the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, address two of the RREA Strategic Goals: Ensuring Healthy Ecosystems and Forest Stewardship and Health. Programs are designed to provide needed, current scientific based information to private landowners, students, and practicing professionals in all areas of natural resources management, local, state, and federal agency personnel, teachers, and the public in general. The objective is to provide this information to these audiences in such a way as to enhance its everyday application and thereby improve the management of our natural resources. Changes/Problems: Nothing Reported What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? Nothing Reported How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?We conducted 485 educational events for forest and range landowners/managers on the environmental and economic impacts of invasive species. With face-to-face meetings and websites/app, we have had direct or indirect contacts with approximately 21,158,277 people. We estimate that 27,244 private landowners and managers increased their knowledge of at least one exotic invasive species and its control. These efforts had a positive impact on 23,500 acres in Georgia. In addition, we conducted some educational programs that help to minimize land conversion of forests and teach landowners about the benefits wetland management and conservation although this is not the main emphasis of our work in the area of maintaining healthy ecosystems. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals? Nothing Reported

Progress 10/01/13 to 09/30/14

Outputs
Target Audience: RREA programs at The University of Georgia, administered by the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, address two of the RREA Strategic Goals: Ensuring Healthy Ecosystems and Forest Stewardship and Health. Programs are designed to provide needed, current scientific based information to private landowners, students, and practicing professionals in all areas of natural resources management, local, state, and federal agency personnel, teachers, and the public in general. The objective is to provide this information to these audiences in such a way as to enhance its everyday application and thereby improve the management of our natural resources. Changes/Problems: Nothing Reported What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? Opportunities for training and professional development are presented and discussed above in the Accomplishments Section. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? Results have been disseminated through face-to-face meetings and field days with landowners, 54 websites, 70 SmartPhone Applications, and over 90 publications. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals? Continue to produce publications for a variety of audiences, continue development of new SmartPhone applications, revise current websites and technology applications, continue to conduct field days and training sessions to meet the needs of farmers/producers, landowners and other stakeholders. In short, continue to deliver a high-quality outreach program focused on the subject matter strenghts of the limited number of faculty in our outreach/extension program.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? Goal 1: Ensuring Healthy Ecosystems; Issue: Invasive Species. 42 short courses, websites, workshops, field training sessions, public and landowner meetings reached > 6.3 million individuals. Most contacts were through the web and Smart Phone Apps. Topics presented included; invasive plants, plant mapping, mapping protocols, and utilizing EDDMAPS; invasive response to fire and silviculture operations; use of herbicides; invasive plants in plantations; and history, threat, early detection and control of Cogongrass. Educational materials were also provided through the web (www.invasive.org) Goal 1: Ensuring Healthy Ecosystems; Issue: Land Conversion, Fragmentation, and Parcelization. Conducted 3 educational event for 45 attendees impacting 500 acres. Goal 1: Ensuring Healthy Ecosystems; Issue: Climate Variability. No activities were conducted in this area. Goal 1: Ensuring Healthy Ecosystems; Issue: Forest & Rangeland Water & Wetland Resources. Conducted 2 educational events for 100 attendees that effected management on 1,000 acres. Goal 2: Enhancing Economic Benefits; Issue: Economic Opportunities for Individuals and Communities. Conducted 10 education events with 520 direct or indirect contacts to assist 220 forest or wildlife income-generating businesses. Participants earned or saved $100K due to attendance. Goal 2: Enhancing Economic Benefits; Issue: Biomass for Energy. Conducted one educational event for 1,825 contacts who increased knowledge of biomass and bioenergy. At least 205 forest or range landowners implemented at least one biomass related practice. Goal 3 - Enhancing Resource Management on Working Forests and Rangelands. Issue: Forest Stewardship and Health. We coordinated, hosted or presented 44 educational events including workshops, seminars, conferences or webinars with 660 attendees. This effort resulted in 620 Forest Stewardship Plans affecting 502,000 acres. Topics included: forest herbicides, mid-rotation fertilization and competition control with economic implications, longleaf pine establishment and management, longleaf pine herbaceous weed control, privet control herbicide options, pine straw stand management and economics, alternative incomes in forest management, natural resources opportunities for landowners, and road construction/water quality BMPs. Goal 3 - Enhancing Resource Management on Working Forests and Rangelands. Issue: Forest and Rangeland Wildlife and Fisheries Resources. We conducted 21 educational events for 749 landowners related to wildlife habitat management primarily directed at nuisance wildlife issues for homeowners and the Green (Landscape/Pest Control) Industry. Workshops and presentations focus on dealing with nuisance wildlife issues around the home or community. Two community events dealing with nuisance black bears drew a combined audiences of over 150 people. Goal 3 - Enhancing Resource Management on Working Forests and Rangelands; Issue: Intergenerational Land Transfer. Six educational events directly or indirectly reached 300 individuals with estate or land transfer planning and affected nearly 25,000 acres through information on tax savings and estate planning. Outcomes/Impact: Project Faculty at the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources at the University of Georgia produce over 80 outreach and research publications in FY '14. Goal 1 - Ensuring Healthy Ecosystems. Issue: Invasive Species. Programs for foresters, other professional natural resource managers, woodland owners, extension agents, Master Gardeners, K-12 teachers and students, and the public were completed to foster statewide efforts among agencies and the public to promote awareness of invasive issues in the state. New invasive species apps (iPhone & Android) were developed and released in FY 2014 with > 48,000 iPhone downloads. The invasive species websites had > 172 million hits and nearly 42 million page requests from 11.9 million unique users. Efforts to maintain apps and websites continue to keep sites current. A new website (www.georgiawildpigs.com) was launched to deal with an old problem but one that is receiving a great deal of interest - invasive feral swine (wild pigs). Numerous educational events are planned for FY 2015 as this program develops. In addition, 377 invasive plant profiles on Bugwood Wiki & Invasipedia were posted (http://wiki.bugwood.org/Invasipedia). Thirty-nine blog posts were created on Bugwood Blog (http://bugwood.blogspot.com). Goal 2 - Enhancing Economic Benefits. Issue: Biomass for Energy. Work with partners at intra-regional universities to research impacts of bioenergy utilization. Continue to develop partnerships and aid on-going research efforts to better use logging waste for energy and to study the impacts of fuel wood management. Goal 3 - Enhancing Resource Management on Working Forests and Rangelands. Issue: Forest Stewardship and Health. The eXtension Wood Energy Community of Practice (http://www.extension.org/wood_energy) had 1,875 unique users. Produced 26 bulletins for technology transfer and educational products. Maintain national timber tax website (http:// www.timbertax.org) with 98,560 unique users.

Outputs
Target Audience: Citizens, landowners, and forest resources users in the state of Georgia Changes/Problems: Nothing Reported What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? Goal 1 – Ensuring Healthy Ecosystems. Issue: Invasive Species. Programs for foresters, other professional natural resource managers, woodland owners, extension agents, Master Gardeners, K-12 teachers and students, and the general public were completed to foster state-wide efforts among agencies and the public to promote awareness of invasive issues in the state. 7 invasive species apps (iPhone & Android) were developed and released in FY 2013 with 47,328 iPhone downloads. The invasive species websites had > 172 million hits and nearly 42 million page requests from 11.9 million unique users. Goal 2 - Enhancing Economic Benefits. Issue: Biomass for Energy. Work with partners at intra-regional universities to research impacts of bioenergy utilization. Produced 5 eXtension and Community of Practice web products to assist users. Held 5 education events for 1,830 participants; develop 5 new biomass use enterprises and help 105 landowners implement at least one biomass-related management practice. Goal 3 – Enhancing Resource Management on Working Forests and Rangelands. Issue: Forest Stewardship and Health. The eXtension Wood Energy Community of Practice (http://www.extension.org/wood_energy) had 1,875 unique users. Produced 26 bulletins for technology transfer and educational products. Maintain national timber tax website (http:// www.timbertax.org) with 98,560 unique users. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? RREA programs at The University of Georgia, administered by the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, address two of the RREA Strategic Goals: Ensuring Healthy Ecosystems and Forest Stewardship and Health. Programs are designed to provide needed, current scientific based information to private landowners, students, and practicing professionals in all areas of natural resources management, local, state, and federal agency personnel, teachers, and the public in general. The objective is to provide this information to these audiences in such a way as to enhance its everyday application and thereby improve the management of our natural resources. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals? Continue outreach programs as firmly established by faculty. Continue to respond to client need for current and factual information so client and stakeholders can efficiently manage forest and related natural resources.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? Goal 1: Ensuring Healthy Ecosystems; Issue: Land Conversion, Fragmentation, and Parcelization. Conducted 1 educational event for 80 attendees impacting 4,000 acres. Goal 1: Ensuring Healthy Ecosystems; Issue: Climate Variability. 60 direct or indirect contacts with landowners that impacted 1,000 acres. Goal 2: Enhancing Economic Benefits; Issue: Economic Opportunities for Individuals and Communities. 5 education events and 100 direct or indirect contacts to assist 10 forest or wildlife income-generating businesses. Participants earned or saved $100K due to attendance. Goal 3 – Enhancing Resource Management on Working Forests and Rangelands. Issue: Forest Stewardship and Health. We coordinated, hosted or presented 5 workshops, seminars, conferences or webinars with 629 attendees. Topics included: forest herbicides, mid-rotation fertilization and competition control with economic implications, longleaf pine establishment and management, longleaf pine herbaceous weed control, privet control herbicide options, pine straw stand management and economics, alternative incomes in forest management, natural resources opportunities for landowners, and road construction/water quality BMPs. Goal 3 – Enhancing Resource Management on Working Forests and Rangelands. Issue: Forest and Rangeland Wildlife and Fisheries Resources. We conducted 37 educational events for 1,260 landowners related to wildlife habitat management primarily directed at nuisance wildlife issues for homeowners and the Green (Landscape/Pest Control) Industry. Workshops and presentations focus on dealing with nuisance wildlife issues. Goal 3 – Enhancing Resource Management on Working Forests and Rangelands; Issue: Intergenerational Land Transfer. 3 educational events directly or indirectly reached 50 individuals with estate or land transfer planning and impacted nearly ½ million acres through information on tax savings and estate planning.

Impacts
Goal 1 - Ensuring Healthy Ecosystems. Invasive Species. Programs for foresters, other professional natural resource managers, woodland owners, extension agents, Master Gardeners, K-12 teachers and students, and the general public were completed to foster state-wide efforts among agencies and the public to promote awareness of invasive issues in the state. 14 invasive species apps (iPhone & Android) were developed and released in FY 2012 with 13,649 iPhone downloads and 1,570 Android downloads. www.invasive.org had 6,551,168 page requests from 1,910,092 individual users. "These new resources are moving pockets of information out of universities and laboratories and into the public domain where they are readily accessible," says Lee Van Wychen, Ph.D., Weed Science Society of America science policy director. "Now scientists, policy makers and even the general public can use the data to track the location and movement of weeds and monitor the effectiveness of management strategies." Goal 3 - Enhancing Resource Management on Working Forests and Rangelands. Forest Stewardship and Health, Forest Productivity & Sustainability. As examples of impact, we offer the following quotes: "Just a note of thanks for coordinating the recent Natural Resource Opportunities for Landowners webinar series. This training was very beneficial to participating landowners here in Screven County in that it gave them a different prospective on the many areas that they can develop and enhance their land. It connected them with landowners and specialist from the Southeast." [Ray Hicks, Extension Coordinator, Screven County, GA.] "Pine straw - I did not think a landowner could make that much money from it prior to a 1st thinning" [class participant in Alternative Income Sources in Forest Mgmt, Statesboro, GA 25Oct12 - 150 attendees] The eXtension Wood Energy Community of Practice (http://www.extension.org/wood_energy) had an average of 837 users per month. Goal 3 - Enhancing Resource Management on Working Forests and Rangelands. Forest Stewardship and Health, Urban & Community Forestry. "The training was great for helping me understand drought problems so I can better educate my clients." [Tree Health care participant]. Goal 3 - Enhancing Resource Management on Working Forests and Rangelands Forest Stewardship and Health, Youth Education. "I loved the course. Better than expected. The pride in forestry our instructors displayed really shined through." "Everything was excellent. Exceeded expectations!" [Participants in Forestry for Non-Foresters shortcourse] 22,348 unique users visited the Forest*A*Syst website.
