5 Critical Forestry & Natural Resource Issues in the Southern Region Biomass, biofuels & bioenergy Forest health Climate variability Economic and social importance Fragmentation and parcelization Water quality & quantity Wildfire Forest restoration
6 SREF works collaboratively with state and federal agencies, universities and the private sector to accomplish: Research Technology Transfer Professional Development Applied Research Information Technology & Mobile Technology Deployment Improved Information Dissemination
7 Research Technology Transfer Multi-Year Federal Grant Programs USDA NIFA Projects Offer an opportunity for Extension to work more closely with Research and Teaching $20 million, universities Bioenergy solutions from our farms and forests PINEMAP Climate change solutions for southern forests
8 Research Technology Transfer Pine Integrated Network: Education, Mitigation and Adaptation Project Overall Goals of PINEMAP Create tools to enable southern forest landowners: to adapt their forest management approaches under changing climate scenarios to more efficiently utilize nitrogen and other fertilizer inputs to harness pine forest productivity to mitigate atmospheric CO
9 Climate Variability Stakeholders Non traditional groups Natural Resource Professionals Industrial Cooperative members State Extension Specialists & Staff Forest landowners County Extension Agents & Specialists
10 Forester Survey on Climate Science and Variability 1. What climate and weather anomalies have Southern foresters witnessed? 2. How knowledgeable do they feel and how confident are they about climate variability concepts? 3. To what degree are they concerned about climate variability? 4. How open are they to new information, tools and technologies with regard to forest resiliency? 5. What types of educational programs are they interested in?
11 Survey Details Online survey sent to 6,700 foresters across the South (13 states including PINEMAP region) 1,782 responses (27% Response Rate)
12
13 Knowledge & Confidence: Climate/Climate Science 25% of foresters have had clients ask them about change in climate or extreme weather. Of those 25%, about 57% feel confident answering their questions, while about 20% are not confident and about 23% are unsure 8% How knowledgeable do you feel about the science behind climate and climate change? 32% 34% 20% 6% Not Knowledgeable Slightly Somewhat Knowledgeabl e Moderatel y Very Knowledgeable
14 Interest in Education: Climate Science and Climate Change How interested are you in learning more about climate science and change? 25% 30% 20% 15% 10% Not Interested Slightly Somewhat Interested Moderatel y Very Interested
15 Knowledge and Confidence: Forest Resiliency How knowledgeable are you about forest resiliency strategies, options and concepts (including risk assessment, climate-smart best management practices, etc.? 35% 22% 20% 11% 3% Not Knowledgeable Slightly Somewhat Moderately Knowledgeabl e Very Knowledgeable
16 Interest in Education: Forest Resiliency How interested are you in learning more about forest management strategies that promote forest health and resiliency? 30% 22% 25% 19% 6% Not Interested Slightly Interested Somewhat Interested Moderately Interested Very Interested
17 Openness to New Information, Tools & Technologies: Weather How interested are you in learning more about weather (science, forecasts, tools and technologies? 22% 31% 26% 15% 6% Not Interested Slightly Somewhat Interested Moderately Very Interested
18 PINEMAP Extension Delivery- Survey sent to more than 100 extension forestry specialists and associates Basic questions What do you want to know more about? What are you most concerned about? What is the best way to deliver that information?
19 Managing forest insects and diseases Planting genotypes that are tolerant of drought, insects, and/or disease Controlling Undesirable Plant species Sanitation cuts that remove infected trees to reduce disease losses Adjusting Harvest Schedules Guidance on Selective Removal Density Management Species and/or genotype selection Please rate the importance of incorporating new knowledge on the following potential impacts of climate variability and climate change into your educational and professional development programming activities. Not or of little importance Moderately Important Important or Very Important Breeding for enhanced yield Vegetation management to offset drought impacts Breeding for pest resistance and for a wider tolerance to a range of stresses Assessment of future productivity on forest land being considered for Seedlot trials for Improved Genetics Not as interested in Carbon Markets, fertilization, climate in growth and yield models or means of assessing CC risks (for forestry sales, economic impacts, etc.) 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100%
