Oak Webinar Series

Oak Woodland Management Webinar

Completed Spring, 2011

California’s oak woodlands cover 10 percent of the state and are its most biologically diverse broad habitat. It also is as an important location for agricultural and other economic enterprises. With 80 percent in private ownership, continued sustainability of resources is in the hands of private individuals. This webinar series was designed to create an awareness of the importance of managing oak woodlands and to present alternative management strategies for landowners to consider. It presents concepts in the University of California’s publication, “Guidelines for Managing California’s Hardwood Rangelands.” This webinar series is intended for anyone involved in research, education, management and conservation of oak woodland ecosystems. This includes landowners and managers, consulting range managers and registered professional foresters, community and conservation groups, land trusts and policy makers.
