Sustainable Forests Education Cooperative

Sustainable Forests Education Cooperative

Welcome to the Sustainable Forests Education Cooperative calendar! Since 1997 we have alerted natural resource professionals to continuing education opportunities in a broad range of fields - forest ecology and management, wildlife biology, forest hydrology, botany, best management practices, technology transfer, human dimensions, and others.

 

Certificate Course in Ecosystem Silviculture

Our focus is ecosystem silviculture – using new tools (ecological classification) and tools as old as the hills (such as soil surveys and forest inventory) to meet goals of sustainable forest management.

What's in the Calendar?

  • continuing education courses
  • professional society meetings
  • other resources provided by a range of public and private sponsors.

Most are forestry or forest ecosystem-related courses of interest to a wide range of natural resource professionals. Some are skills courses open to participants outside of the sponsoring institution. We emphasize courses held in our region - the Upper Midwest and adjacent Canadian provinces.

Continuing Education Credits

Continuing education credits, using the Society of American Foresters grading criteria, are provided with every SFEC-coordinated workshop.

 

Ideas? Suggestions?

We want to serve your needs for continuing education. Write, phone, fax, or e-mail any ideas or suggestions to Louise Levy (contact information below). Tell us about courses we should include. We can also help design and develop workshops. Contact us to schedule additional sessions of existing workshops or to set up new programs that will meet your continuing education needs. If you know of someone who should be receiving this calendar but is not, let us know and we will add him or her to our mailing list.
