General Information

Forestry & Environmental Outreach Program (FEOP) and Extension Forestry offer distance education and training events designed to inform landowners and natural resources professionals on a wide array of topics. Some of these events are accessible by personal computer as Internet seminars or "webinars". Others are broadcast to various locations, such as community colleges and Extension centers, through the NC Research and Extension Network (NC-REN). When grant funding provides financial support for these events, they can be offered at little or no charge. When subsidies are not available a small registration fee is charged. Each distance learning event will be accredited with SAF Continuing Forestry Education contact hours and possibly other types of accreditation depending on the topic. Continuing education certificates are sent to participants after our office reviews the sign-in sheets from teleconference locations, or log-in records from webinars. When possible, certificates are emailed to participants as PDF attachments. FEOP distance education events are archived! CLICK HERE
