Training and workforce development
I provide forestry-focused training programs that can be tailored to meet the unique needs of your organization, team, or individual professionals. Whether you are onboarding new or emerging forestry professionals, hosting skill-building workshops, or helping experienced staff adapt to evolving industry challenges, my training is designed to be practical, engaging, and relevant. I can develop customized curriculum, deliver interactive workshops, and create professional development pathways that align with current forestry practices, policy updates, and market opportunities. The goal is to equip you or your team with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to excel in a rapidly changing forestry environment.
As an experienced college faculty member, I develop and adapt curriculum for natural resources training programs, supporting workforce development, internships, apprenticeships, and youth corps. I can source and customize existing materials (e.g., safety training) or create original content for your organization to deliver. I offer flexible instruction—remote, in-person, or in the field—to meet diverse learner and organizational needs.
In addition to foundational training, I focus on building skills that help professionals navigate the broader forestry landscape, including government programs, grant and contract opportunities, active forest management, and emerging technologies. Training can be scaled for small teams or entire departments and can include hands-on exercises, case studies, and scenario-based learning to reinforce real-world application. By combining technical knowledge with strategic insight, participants gain the ability to make informed decisions, improve operational efficiency, and seize new opportunities in the forestry sector, ultimately strengthening both individual careers and organizational capacity.
