What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Wisconsin Coverts Project workshop was held August 12-15, 2021 in Woodruff, WI. Wisconsin Coverts Project Reunion & Advanced Training held August 22-24, 2021 in Wisconsin Dells. Climate Change symposium (held virtually and recorded) as part of the Wisconsin Chapter of The Wildlife Society's 2021 Winter Meeting with a focus on "Winter Adapted Species in a Warming World". February 22, 2021. Learn About Your Land (LAYL) 16 individual classes were held primarily virtually. In addition to the educational opportunity for woodland owners, we are working closer with WI DNR foresters to prepare them for educational presentations and communication skills for working with woodland owners. The virtual platforms (Zoom and Facebook Live) also required some training for DNR foresters. Successful grant to NIFA RREA Focus Funds around Legacy Planning which is bringing together 9 states to understand needs around such programming, and create a toolkit for implementation in each of the states. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?A 2021 Wisconsin Coverts Project final report was compiled and shared with workshop sponsors and partners. The "Coverts" website (https://fwe.wisc.edu/coverts/) has been updated to reflect the long-term impacts of the project. An updated PowerPoint will be made available to attendees for their use in recruiting the next cohort of cooperators. The on-line Coverts resource page, "Forest and Wildlife Resources for Private Landowners" was updated and shared with Coverts Cooperators and they were encouraged to make other landowners aware of the resource. This resource includes links to websites and publications on managing forest and wildlife resources on private land (e.g. invasive species management, forest insect and health, management plans, climate change effects on forest and wildlife, succession and estate planning resources). The Natural Resource Educators (NREs) are working in closer collaboration with WI DNR and Aldo Leopold Foundation to better coordinate outreach efforts for family woodland owners. The effort is titled The Next Million Acres, and targets getting 20,000 landowners engaging with foresters and other resource professionals by 2023. To this end, the NREs are working with the partners to target landscapes with outreach efforts, providing reports regarding individual efforts, and tracking landowners from receipt of a mailing to actions taken as a result. The Extension Wildlife Program team reached 80,000 to 100,000 listeners through bi-monthly 90-minute call-in radio programs on Wisconsin Public Radio. One NRE participated in a 60-minute show with the DNR. Listeners and callers received information on wildlife ecology, habitat management, conservation, wildlife damage management, etc. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?

What was accomplished under these goals?
FY2017-2021 Summative highlights: The Wisconsin Coverts Project - From 2017-2021, 5 workshops were held with 125 landowners attending, representing 14,574 acres. Based on follow-up surveys, these Coverts Cooperators have reached out to an estimated 4,061 additional landowners, representing 36,690 acres, sharing their new found knowledge and resources on managing forests for wildlife. Learn About Your Land (LAYL) - From 2017-2021, classes were held in 31 locations and virtually with 103 individual class sessions. 1,052 individual households have attended, representing over 46,500 acres of woodlands. Across the years, a range of 68-81% of attendees had NOT attended another woodland owner education event in the 5 years previous to their attendance at LAYL. The LAYL program is part of a larger effort, titled The Next Million Acres, and targets getting 20,000 landowners engaging with foresters and other resource professionals by 2023. In cooperation with DNR, all attendees were referred for a free walk-through and stewardship plan with a forester. Additional support for LAYL attendees included monthly blog posts, bi-weekly Facebook posts, and a monthly e-newsletter. 937 people (up 578 from previous report) receive the newsletter (with a 44% open rate), and 771 people follow the Facebook page (up 515 from previous report). Additionally, we are building engagement on Instagram (603 followers) and Twitter. FY2021 Programming highlights: The Wisconsin Coverts Project (https://fwe.wisc.edu/coverts/) - Twenty-four landowners (representing 20 properties) attended the August 12-15, 2021 Wisconsin Coverts Project, a 3-day woodland wildlife management workshop. Landowner's state of residence included Wisconsin (20), Minnesota (1) and Illinois (1). Attendees own or are responsible for managing 3,327 acres. Wildlife and forestry professionals provided classroom learning and field tours to raise awareness and encourage attendees to be active stewards. Upon completion of the program, attendees become Coverts Cooperators sharing what they have learned with others in their community and creating or updating their own written management plan. Based on 20 out of 24 (83% response rate) completed workshop evaluations, 100% of respondents "agreed" (5%) or "strongly agreed" (95%) that the workshop met their expectations and "agreed" (5%) or "strongly agreed" (95%) that they can use what they learned at the workshop. Survey respondents indicated that their level of knowledge about managing their woodlands for wildlife increased "a moderate amount" (34%) or a "a great deal" (65%). Ninety-five percent of respondents indicated they were "moderately comfortable" (26%) or "very comfortable" (68%) knowing who to contact for their forest and wildlife management needs. Based on completed evaluations, Cooperators pledged that a year from now they will have reached out to an estimated 289 to 367 woodland owners sharing concepts about forest and wildlife management practices discussed at Coverts. Outreach methods might include: one-on-one conversations, hosting a field tour, writing an article, etc. Unfortunately, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we did not host a Wisconsin Coverts Project workshop in 2020 and as a result there was no 1-year follow-up survey conducted in 2021. The 2021 Wisconsin Coverts Project Reunion & Advanced Training was held August 22-24 at the Chula Vista Resort in the Wisconsin Dells. Eighty-five Coverts Cooperators and their guests attended the 3-day event which included a Wisconsin Dells Boat Tours scenic dinner cruise, more than 25 presentations on forest-wildlife topics, an exhibitor social with 20 groups/organizations participating, and a field trip to the Aldo Leopold Foundation in Baraboo. Reunions and advanced trainings are held every 5-years to provide cooperators with updated information and exposure to new topics relevant to woodland management. In addition, these events offer plenty of social time for peer-to-peer learning and strive to motivate landowners to continue their land stewardship and outreach efforts. Based on 46 completed workshop evaluations, 96% of respondents "agreed" (19%) or "strongly agreed" (77%) that the reunion met their expectations and 98% "agreed" (33%) or "strongly agreed" (96%) that they can use what they learned at the workshop. When attendees were asked if they have a written forest and/or wildlife management plan for all or a portion of their property, 71% (33 of 46 respondents) indicated "Yes", 17% (8 of 46) had a plan "In progress", and 11% (5 of 46) indicated, "No", they do not have a written plan. Forty-three out of 46 (93%) evaluation respondents consider themselves to be an active Coverts Cooperators (i.e. sharing knowledge, ideas, and resources about land stewardship with others). Learn About Your Land (LAYL) (http://www.woodlandinfo.org/) - 16 individual classes were held in conjunction with 9 counties around the state. 105 households attended these classes, which primarily occurred virtually. Seventy-eight percent of attendees reported that they had not attended an educational event about their woodlands in the past 5 years. In cooperation with DNR, all attendees were referred for a free walk-through and stewardship plan with a forester, however, DNR suspended most walk-throughs due to COVID. Additional support for LAYL attendees included monthly blog posts, bi-weekly Facebook posts, and a monthly e-newsletter. 937 people receive the newsletter (with a 44% open rate), and 771 people follow the Facebook page (up 340 from previous year). Additionally, we are building engagement on Instagram (603 followers) and Twitter. Engaging new audiences- Building off of the success of LAYL, educators are currently expanding programming to new audiences including Women Owning Woodland and Farm Forest initiatives. This year's work included doing needs assessments, visiting events reaching these audiences, and piloting programs. A series of 3 webinars and 3 hikes were piloted for women landowners. Total attendance for these six events was 210 individuals. Educators attended a field day for farmers and presented information on forestry assistance where 90 individuals were in attendance. This was followed by a forestry specific field day attended by 33 individuals. Evaluation of these efforts will occur in 2022, with more data to come.One of our challenges this year has been moving to a primarily virtual platform, and how we collect data on participants in lieu of paper surveys. We did not conduct any impact surveys this year as we work with our evaluation specialists on new methods for collecting data, and what impacts we expect from the virtual classes. Provided a presentation on "Tips for Engaging the Next Generation on Your Land" as part of Virginia Cooperative Extension's Generation NEXT fall legacy planning webinar series (97 people registered) and for a Women Owning Woodlands four-part webinar series centered around a new publication, "Women on the Land: a landowner's guide to stewarding her woodlands" (54 people registered). Climate Change outreach - participated on the Wisconsin Institute for Climate Change Impacts Forestry Working Group. Co-organized and hosted a Climate Change symposium (held virtually) as part of the Wisconsin Chapter of The Wildlife Society's 2021 Winter Meeting with a focus on "Winter Adapted Species in a Warming World". Chapter membership includes natural resource professionals and students. The symposium attracted approximately 100 virtual attendees and focused on the following goals 1) providing an overview of the local and regional changes in winter climate; 2) highlighting recent research on how winter-adapted wildlife are being impacted by a changing winter climate; 3) presenting opportunities for adaptation and mitigation with a focus on strategies public and private land managers can apply to conserve vulnerable wildlife.

Design, deliver, and evaluate "Learn About Your Land" (woodland) programs to priority non-industrial private forest (NIPF) landowner audiences. Work will include exploring new approaches for reaching women and farm forest owners. We will deliver a minimum of 2 programs per DNR district directed toward "unengaged" NlPF landowners in workshop settings in multiple counties, for a total of at least six (6) locations. Webinars and field days, 6 total, are planned to reach women landowners. Planning and partnership building will continue in regards to evaluating and reviewing Your Land, Your Legacy aimed at intergenerational land transfer. A toolkit of peer reviewed materials will be outlined, and various states will test materials and outreach efforts. Your Land, Your Legacy workshops will be held in the state in late 2021 & 2022 to test a new asynchronous format. Continue to participate on the Wisconsin Institute for Climate Change Impacts Forestry Working Group. Work plan items include: (1) Communicate relevant climate change information across the forestry community, (2) Develop useful outreach materials and tools for foresters, land managers, and landowners, (3) Lead adaptation training and develop real-world adaptation examples.

What was accomplished under these goals?
The Wisconsin Coverts Project (https://fwe.wisc.edu/coverts/) - Unfortunately, as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Wisconsin Coverts Project workshop, planned for August 13-16 at Kemp Natural Resources Station in Woodruff, WI was cancelled. However we were able to check-in with the class of 2019 Coverts Cooperators. In September, a 1-year follow-up survey was mailed to the 2019 workshop attendees. Twenty of 27 surveys were returned (74% response rate). Prior to the Coverts program, 14 of 27 properties (52%) had a written forest or wildlife management plan. One year after the workshop, 14 out of 20 properties/responses (70%) have a written management plan completed (n=11) or in progress (n=3) for all or a portion of the property, with a total of 1,146 acres under a management plan. When asked if their written plan was in place prior to attending Coverts, 7 indicated "Yes", 4 "No" and 3 "some of it". Ninety-five percent (19 out of 20) of properties/responses indicated that their involvement in the Coverts Program has changed the way they managed their land, 95% implemented at least one habitat management activity on their land since attending Coverts, and 90% reached out to a resource professional for assistance in the past year. As for outreach, respondents indicated they reached out to an estimated 168 additional landowners (representing an estimated 7,408 acres; based on 20 survey responses) sharing what they have learned about forest/wildlife management. Survey respondents primarily communicated messages through one-on-one conversations (100%) and by sharing workshop materials (65%). Over the past year, the 2019 Coverts Cooperators (n=20 respondents) have been involved in the following activities: using ideas learned from the workshop on their land (95%), showing other landowners their management activities (75%) and helping neighbors or other landowners obtain management assistance (55%). Additionally, Wisconsin Coverts Project property signs and window decals were designed and produced in the fall of 2019. Signs and decals will be provided to new Coverts Cooperators at the completion of workshops at a rate of one per property. They will also be handed out to past Coverts attendees at the 2021 Coverts Reunion & Advanced Training. Memorial gift funds from past Coverts attendees were used to print (350) 12x18 inch aluminum signs and (350) 4x4 inch decals. Learn About Your Land (LAYL) (http://www.woodlandinfo.org/) - 17 individual classes were held this year, primarily through virtual platforms. We are still going through data from these classes, but approximately 228 households attended these classes, representing over 10,052 acres of woodlands. In cooperation with DNR, all attendees were referred for a free walk-through and stewardship plan with a forester. Additional support for LAYL attendees included monthly blog posts, bi-weekly Facebook posts, and a quarterly e-newsletter. Over 800 hundred people receive the newsletter, and 645 people follow the Facebook page. One of our challenges this year has been moving to a primarily virtual platform, and how we collect data on participants in lieu of paper surveys. We did not conduct any impact surveys this year as we work with our evaluation specialists on new methods for collecting data, and what impacts we expect from the virtual classes. Your Land, Your Legacy - In lieu of in-person classes this year, educators participated in a regional event with other Extension professionals and partners. This 2-day meeting was attended by 18 people from 9 states. Each state shared their current efforts around succession planning, and identified needs for shared resources and information. This was part of a Focus Funds project that is being led by Wisconsin. Additionally, we have started to revise our Your Land, Your Legacy class into a flipped-classroom approach, working with Instructional Design Specialists on campus. Climate Change outreach - participated on the Wisconsin Institute for Climate Change Impacts Forestry Working Group.

Progress 10/01/18 to 09/30/19
Outputs
Target Audience:Target audiences for this reporting period focused on private woodland owners, future potential landowners (heirs), forest and wildlife resource professionals, the general public and current and future programming partners (e.g. Wisconsin Woodland Owners Association, land trusts, estate attorneys, certified public accountants). Changes/Problems:
Nothing Reported
What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Wisconsin Coverts Project workshop was held August 16-19, 2018 in Woodruff, WI. Learn About Your Land (LAYL) 18 individual classes were held in 7 locations around the state. In addition to the educational opportunity for woodland owners, we are working closer with WI DNR foresters to prepare them for educational presentations and communication skills for working with woodland owners. Your Land, Your Legacy (YL,YL) Six professionals were invited to attend and present at YL,YL classes. Currently, in WI, we do not have a deep pool of attorneys or tax professionals that address forestry specific concerns. These classes acted as a learning opportunity for our presenters on woodland owner concerns. Successful grant to NIFA RREA Focus Funds around Legacy Planning which will bring together 9 states to understand needs around such programming, and create a toolkit for implementation in each of the states. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?A 2019 Wisconsin Coverts Project final report was compiled and shared with workshop sponsors and partners. The "Coverts" website (https://fwe.wisc.edu/coverts/) was updated to reflect the long-term impacts of the project. An updated PowerPoint was made available to attendees for their use in recruiting the next cohort of cooperators. The on-line Coverts resource page, "Forest and Wildlife Resources for Private Landowners" was updated and shared with Coverts Cooperators and they were encouraged to make other landowners aware of the resource. This resource includes links to websites and publications on managing forest and wildlife resources on private land (e.g. invasive species management, forest insect and health, management plans, climate change effects on forest and wildlife, succession and estate planning resources). The Natural Resource Educators (NREs) are working in closer collaboration with WI DNR and Aldo Leopold Foundation to better coordinate outreach efforts for family woodland owners. The effort is titled The Next Million Acres, and targets getting 20,000 landowners engaging with foresters and other resource professionals by 2023. To this end, the NREs are working with the partners to target landscapes with outreach efforts, providing reports regarding individual efforts, and tracking landowners from receipt of a mailing to actions taken as a result. The Extension Wildlife Program team reached 80,000 to 100,000 listeners through bi-monthly 90-minute call-in radio programs on Wisconsin Public Radio. Listeners and callers received information on wildlife ecology, habitat management, conservation, and wildlife damage management. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?We will train 25-30 private woodland owners about forest and wildlife stewardship through the Wisconsin Coverts Project 3-day workshop, August 13-16, 2020. Design, deliver, and evaluate "Learn About Your Land" (woodland) programs to priority non-industrial private forest (NIPF) landowner audiences. Work may include exploring new approaches for reaching women and new landowners. We will deliver a minimum of 2 programs per DNR district directed toward "unengaged" NlPF landowners in workshop settings in multiple counties, for a total of at least six (6) locations. Planning and partnership building will continue in regards to evaluating and reviewing Your Land, Your Legacy aimed at intergenerational land transfer. A needs assessment of Extension educators and partners in 10 states will be conducted, along with an in-person event to start to address the needs identified in the survey. Your Land, Your Legacy workshops will be held in the state in 2020. Workshops will continue to include a presentation and materials on engaging the next generation. Continue to participate on the Wisconsin Institute for Climate Change Impacts Forestry Working Group. Work plan items include: (1) Communicate relevant climate change information across the forestry community, (2) Develop useful outreach materials and tools for foresters, land managers, and landowners, (3) Lead adaptation training and develop real-world adaptation examples.

What was accomplished under these goals?
The Wisconsin Coverts Project (https://fwe.wisc.edu/coverts/) - Thirty-four landowners (representing 27 properties) attended the 2019 Wisconsin Coverts Project, a 3-day woodland wildlife management workshops. Landowner's state of residence included Wisconsin (32) and Minnesota (2). Attendees own or are responsible for managing 3,502 acres. Wildlife and forestry professionals provided classroom learning and field tours to raise awareness and encourage attendees to be active stewards. Upon completion of the program, attendees become Coverts Cooperators sharing what they have learned with others in their community and creating or updating their own written management plan. Based on 31 out of 34 (91% response rate) completed workshop evaluations, 97% of attendees "agreed" (10%) or "strongly agreed" (87%) that the workshop met their expectations and "agreed" (13%) or "strongly agreed" (87%) that they can use what they learned at the workshop. Sixty-eight percent (21 out of 31) of survey respondents indicated that their level of knowledge about managing their woodlands for wildlife increased "a great deal". In September, a 1-year follow-up survey was mailed to the attendees of the 2018 Wisconsin Coverts Project workshops. Twenty-seven landowners, representing 22 properties, attended the August 16-19, 2018 workshop. Seventeen of 22, 1-year surveys were returned (77% response rate). Prior to the Coverts program, 10 of 22 properties (45%) had a written forest or wildlife management plan. One year after the workshop, 13 out of 17 properties/responses (76%) have a written management plan completed (n=11) or in progress (n=2) for all or a portion of the property, with a total of 1,240 acres under management. As for outreach, respondents indicated they reached out to an estimated 136 additional landowners (representing an estimated 6,550 acres; based on 15 survey responses) sharing what they have learned about forest/wildlife management. Survey respondents (n=17) primarily communicated messages through one-on-one conversations (82%) and by sharing workshop materials (71%). One hundred percent of survey respondents (17 out of 17) implemented at least one habitat management activity on their land since attending Coverts. Eighty-two percent (14 out of 17) of survey respondents developed useful contacts with professionals from state, federal, and/or non-profit organizations. Eighty-seven percent (13 out of 15) of properties/responses indicated that their involvement in the Coverts Program has changed the way they managed their land Learn About Your Land (LAYL) (http://www.woodlandinfo.org/) - 18 individual classes were held in 7 locations around the state. 176 individuals attended these classes, representing over 9,237 acres of woodlands. Sixty-eight percent of attendees reported that they had not attended an educational event about their woodlands in the past 5 years. In cooperation with DNR, all attendees were referred for a free walk-through and stewardship plan with a forester. Additional support for LAYL attendees included monthly blog posts, bi-weekly Facebook posts, and a quarterly e-newsletter. Six hundred people receive the newsletter, and 450 people follow the Facebook page. In 2019, we completed an impact survey for 2018 LAYL attendees. Results showed that 62% set up an appointment with a WDNR forester for a walk through on their woodland; 60% connected with a WDNR forester to discuss their woodland; and 53% developed a list of activities for their woodland (53%). Depending on what topics were conducted at their classes, respondents noted these activities after attending the classes: 90% walked their property boundaries; 74% looked up the names of foresters that work in their county;72% looked for invasive species on their woodlands;77% walked their property and looked for signs of poor health. Your Land, Your Legacy - Wisconsin educators implemented year 2 of a new class to help private woodland owners and their heirs plan for the future ownership of their woodlands. The two-session class focused on the legal and social aspects of planning for the next generation. The class was conducted in 3 locations and attracted 23 households and 53 individuals. Impact surveys were collected in 2019 from 2018 attendees where 38% completed a trust or a will, and 45% made changes to an estate plan after the class. Engaging the Next Generation - a presentation on "Tips for Engaging the Next Generation on Your Land" was presented at each of the (3) Your Land, Your Legacy workshops (53 attendees). Climate Change outreach - participated on the Wisconsin Institute for Climate Change Impacts Forestry Working Group.

What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Wisconsin Coverts Project workshop was held August 16-19, 2018 in Woodruff, WI. Learn About Your Land (LAYL) 33 individual classes were held in 11 locations around the state. In addition to the educational opportunity for woodland owners, we are working closer with WI DNR foresters to prepare them for educational presentations and communication skills for working with woodland owners. Your Land, Your Legacy (YL,YL) Nine professionals were invited to attend and present at YL,YL classes. Currently, in WI, we do not have a deep pool of attorneys or tax professionals that address forestry specific concerns. These classes acted as a learning opportunity for our presenters on woodland owner concerns. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?A 2018 Wisconsin Coverts Project final report was compiled and shared with workshop sponsors and partners. The "Coverts" website (https://fwe.wisc.edu/coverts/) was updated to reflect the long-term impacts of the project. An updated PowerPoint was made available to attendees for their use in recruiting the next cohort of cooperators. The on-line Coverts resource page, "Forest and Wildlife Resources for Private Landowners" was updated and shared with Coverts Cooperators and they were encouraged to make other landowners aware of the resource. This resource includes links to websites and publications on managing forest and wildlife resources on private land (e.g. invasive species management, forest insect and health, management plans, climate change effects on forest and wildlife, succession and estate planning resources). The Natural Resource Educators (NREs) are working in closer collaboration with WI DNR and Aldo Leopold Foundation to better coordinate outreach efforts for family woodland owners. The effort is titled The Next Million Acres, and targets getting 20,000 landowners engaging with foresters and other resource professionals by 2022. To this end, the NREs are working with the partners to target landscapes with outreach efforts, providing reports regarding individual efforts, and tracking landowners from receipt of a mailing to actions taken as a result. The Extension Wildlife Program team reached 80,000 to 100,000 listeners through bi-monthly 90-minute call-in radio programs on Wisconsin Public Radio. Listeners and callers received information on wildlife ecology, habitat management, conservation, and wildlife damage management. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?We will train 25-30 private woodland owners about forest and wildlife stewardship through the Wisconsin Coverts Project 3-day workshop, August 15-18, 2019. Design, deliver, and evaluate "Learn About Your Land" (woodland) programs to priority non-industrial private forest (NIPF) landowner audiences. Work may include exploring new approaches for reaching women and new landowners. We will deliver a minimum of 2 programs per DNR district directed toward "unengaged" NlPF landowners in workshop settings in multiple counties, for a total of at least six (6) locations. Planning and partnership building will continue in regards to evaluating and reviewing Your Land, Your Legacy aimed at intergenerational land transfer. In February, a follow-up survey/assessment will be sent to attendees of the 2018 Your Land, Your Legacy workshops. Three, two-session Your Land, Your Legacy workshops will be held in three different regions of the state in 2019. Workshops will continue to include a presentation and materials on engaging the next generation. Continue to participate on the Wisconsin Institute for Climate Change Impacts Forestry Working Group. Work plan items include: (1) Communicate relevant climate change information across the forestry community, (2) Develop useful outreach materials and tools for foresters, land managers, and landowners, (3) Lead adaptation training and develop real-world adaptation examples.

Additional support for LAYL attendees included monthly blog posts, bi-weekly Facebook posts, and a quarterly e-newsletter. 544 people receive the newsletter, with a 46% open rate, and a 35% click rate. 364 people follow the Facebook page with each post reaching over 100 people. Late in 2018, we are revising our impacts surveys for LAYL attendees to align with partner evaluations that will provide a richer story of attendees' actions following class attendance. Your Land, Your Legacy - beginning in July 2017, RREA funds supported the exploration of succession and estate planning resources and curriculum. In 2018, we met with Minnesota, Virginia and North Carolina Extension colleagues to gather information on their estate and succession planning efforts. This resulted in the creation of a new class, titled Your Land, Your Legacy. The two-session class focused on the legal and social aspects of planning for the next generation. The class was conducted in 3 locations, and attracted 22 households and 42 individuals with over 2,500 acres of woodlands. Impact surveys will be completed in spring 2019. Engaging the Next Generation - 5 presentations on "Tips for Engaging the Next Generation on Your Land" were given to 438 landowners at woodland owner meetings and conferences in Shiocton, Oshkosh, Plover, Madison and River Falls, WI. This topic was also presented at each of the (3) Your Land, Your Legacy workshops (42 attendees). Article, "Expert offers tips for engaging youth on land" appeared in the Country Today newspaper on February 12 (https://www.leadertelegram.com/country-today/farm-news/expert-offers-tips-for-engaging-youth-on-land/article_23b0f672-999e-57ea-a873-4cd3e9a8bc1f.html).

What was accomplished under these goals?
Programming highlights include: The Wisconsin Coverts Project (https://fwe.wisc.edu/coverts/) - Two "Coverts" workshops were held in 2017 with a total of 41 landowners (representing 38 properties) attending the 3-day woodland wildlife management workshops. Landowner's state of residence included Wisconsin (33), Michigan (3), Minnesota (3) and Illinois (2). Attendees own or are responsible for managing 145,051 acres (including 60,000 acres owned by the U.S. Army and 80,000 acres owned by Board of Commissioners of Public Lands). Wildlife and forestry professionals provided classroom learning and field tours to raise awareness and encourage attendees to be active stewards. Upon completion of the program, attendees become Coverts Cooperators sharing what they have learned with others in their community and creating or updating their own written management plan. Based on 28 out of 41 (68% response rate) completed workshop evaluations, 100% of attendees "agreed" (4%) or "strongly agreed" (96%) that the workshop met their expectations and "agreed" (7%) or "strongly agreed" (93%) that they can use what they learned at the workshop. Ninety-two percent (25 out of 28) of survey respondents indicated that their level of knowledge about managing their woodlands for wildlife increased "a great deal". In September, a 1-year follow-up survey of the 2016 Wisconsin Coverts Project workshop attendees (27 landowners, representing 19 properties) was mailed. Fourteen on 19 (74%) surveys were returned. Respondents indicated they reached out to an estimated 234 additional landowners (representing an estimated 7,995 acres) sharing what they have learned about forest/wildlife management. Survey respondents primarily communicated messages through one-on-one conversations (93%) and by sharing workshop materials (71%). 100% of survey respondents implemented at least one habitat management activity on their land since attending Coverts. Eighty-six percent (12 out of 14) of survey respondents developed useful contacts with professionals from state, federal, and/or non-profit organizations. Ninety-three percent (13 out of 14) respondents indicated that their involvement in the Coverts Program has changed the way they manage their land. Learn About Your Land (LAYL) (http://www.woodlandinfo.org/) - RREA funds supported 19 individual classes in 4 locations around the state. 292 individuals attended these classes, representing over 7,353 acres of woodlands. Your Land, Your Legacy - starting in July 2017, RREA funds supported the exploration of succession and estate planning resources and curriculum. In collaboration with University of Massachusetts Extension, we revised the Your Land, Your Legacy publication and video with Wisconsin specific information. We also met with Minnesota, Virginia and North Carolina Extension colleagues to gather information on their estate and succession planning efforts. Climate Change outreach - participated on the Wisconsin Institute for Climate Change Impacts Forestry Working Group. The group created a document titled "Scenarios of a State of Change: Forestry". Had several meetings with members of Massachusetts/Connecticut group to learn about their climate change outreach for woodland owners. Exploring partnerships here in Wisconsin for similar work. Wisconsin's Wood Products - Wood Products Extension programming efforts have been very successful in Wisconsin and neighboring states. Interest from the wood products industry and cooperation between government and private organizations has driven these successes. In cooperation with the Lake States Lumber Association and Menominee Tribal Enterprises, Inc., a short course on Hardwood Sawing, Edging, and Trimming was delivered for Wisconsin and other Lake States' companies. This course focuses on value recovery within the within the hardwood lumber industry attracting managers and production staff. The course serves in a train the trainer capacity, with many participants returning to their respective companies to train other employees. Wisconsin's forest products industry adds more than $23 billion annually to Wisconsin's rural economy.
