Coached Planning is the flagship program of WSU Extension Forestry. This short, comprehensive, university-based forestry class will help you get the most out of the land you love.
Topics covered include:
• How do you know if your trees are healthy? What should you do if they aren’t?
• What types of trees do you have? Does your forest look like a “mess”?
• Are characteristics of your property attracting or repelling the wildlife you enjoy? What can you do if wildlife cause damage?
• When should you worry about trees being hazards?
• How do you know if your trees need to be thinned, and how do you go about it?
• Are invasive and noxious weeds taking over your underbrush? What are the risks and what can you do about it?
• What kind of soil do you have and how does that affect what grows?
• What is the risk of wildfire on your property?
As part of this class the instructors will "coach" you in the writing of your own simple forestry plan that may qualify you for property tax reductions or conservation cost-share grants.
