Promoting stewardship and sustainable management of Kentucky's non-industrial private forests.

From the Editors of Kentucky Woodlands Magazine

The woodlands of Kentucky truly are a special place! As stewards of the land, it’s important that we do everything we can to protect (and enhance) this resource long into the future. Typically, this includes managing the woodlands to promote growth, regeneration, and health while also considering all the things that might limit our ability to meet our goals and objectives for the land. Often in Kentucky, this means anticipating and responding to disturbances and disruptions to the ecosystem, from invasive plants, pests, and pathogens to
severe weather events, wildfires, and a changing climates. In this issue of Kentucky Woodlands Magazine, we highlight several articles by researchers and Extension specialists here at UK discussing some of the ways that climate change may impact woodlands here in Kentucky while also helping us understand what we can do to prepare and protect our own woodlands. Additionally in this issue, we are happy to share some of the activities and resources that managers and woodland owners are taking part in across the state from our incredible partners at KDF and NRCS. And as always, thank you for being a part of the Kentucky Woodlands community and we hope you enjoy this issue!
