Areas of Interest

I conduct Extension education programs focused on recreational trail design, income taxes, and property taxes. My target audiences are private forest landowners and the natural resource professionals who serve them. Most of my research has focused on evaluating public incentives for managing nonindustrial private forest lands. I have conducted several surveys of landowners to learn about their land management activities and response to different public incentives. As an Extension Area Program Leader I provide leadership for Extension regional and county staff engaged in forestry-related programs.
