About
Extension Forestry

Our mission is to enable North Carolinians to make informed decisions concerning the management, enhancement, and enjoyment of their forest and other natural resources through sound, research-based information and education. We provide educational opportunities and information for adults and youth in the following program areas.

Christmas Tree Production & Marketing – Promoting economic development through best management practices and sound business skills.
Community Forestry – Improving the health of community forest through management and policy.
Environmental Stewardship – Improving forest health and promoting natural resource-based alternative income opportunities.
Family Forestry – Enhancing natural resource stewardship and improving economic well being through active management.
Woody Biomass and Renewable Energy – Addressing global climate change through policy and energy markets.
Youth Education – Connecting youth with the natural environment through 4-H and Project Learning Tree.

We reach out to North Carolinians via publications, workshops, videos, conferences, county meetings, and field demonstrations. We use advances in technology to reach larger numbers of clients through the internet and mobile technologies, making the information and education accessible where ever theirs a connection.
