Woodland Neighborhood Network
Be a part of an Involved Community of Woodland OwnersHook into the Woodland Neighborhood Network
In addition to the resources of MSOW partners, including the Oregon Department of Forestry, there is a wealth of forestry and fire preparedness knowledge among your fellow woodland landowners. Woodland Neighborhood Network Mentors are available to provide you with the information you need to reach your woodland management goals. They have a variety of expertise, from professional backgrounds in forestry and fire, to the experience that comes with caring for a woodland over generations.
You can get a no pressure visit from a fellow landowner serving as a peer Mentor. Peer Mentors are trained to help you, providing you with advice for whatever concern you have for your woodlands, and discussing possible solutions to whatever concern you have about your woodlands.
If you’d like a visit from a Woodland Neighborhood Network Mentor please indicate on the form below.
