module 2

Module 2 provides tools and knowledge for effectively managing fragmented forests in the WUI. Included are 10 fact sheets, 13 exercises, and 4 presentations that describe landowners of interface forests and their objectives; management practices appropriate for the interface; equipment and systems for small forests; managing for wildlife, fire, water, and visual and recreational amenities; enterprise opportunities for landowners; and forest cooperatives. The emphasis of this module is to help resource professionals understand and appreciate the variety of management objectives that interface landowners may wish to achieve, particularly when those objectives are different from those of rural forest landowners.
