About
Pennsylvania Forest Stewards
Pennsylvania
Forest Stewards (formerly known as VIP-COVERTS) initially
receive approximately 40 hours of classroom and field training in forest
ecology, biodiversity, silviculture, wildlife science, environmental resource
management and other subjects related to stewardship. In exchange, PA Forest
Stewards agree to invest a like amount of their time relaying what they have
learned to motivate forest landowners in their communities.
Pennsylvania Forest Stewards volunteers are part of the Pennsylvania Forest Stewardship Program. The program provides forestland owners with information and assistance to promote healthy and productive forests. The Pennsylvania Forest Stewardship Program is sponsored by the PA Bureau of Forestry and the USDA Forest Service.
