This section covers the new American Forestry Foundation / American Tree Farm System land planning tool, My Land Plan. This is a full service planning and information sourcing / sharing tool for private forest landowner. This tool creates forestland projects that include basic mapping of land features and goal development for those features. Important documents relating to the land plan can be loaded and a journal can be kept and shared with the My Land Plan Community. Throughout, there are numerous ways to obtain detailed information including an “ask the expert” where professionals may contribute in peer to peer information sharing.
Online Mapping Tools for the Natural Resource Professional Webinar Series
This is the first in a 4-part series intended for natural resource professionals to become familiar with important sources of online mapping tools and data without the need for a complex GIS program. These tools will provide the basic mapping necessary for land management decisions and plan development and can assist in your work with landowners. While no experience in digital mapping is required for this class, even experienced mappers will learn new ways to create and share basic land management maps with stakeholders. These tools are simple enough that you may teach others their basic use, empowering them with the ability to develop and share their own work.
