A Beginning Forestry eCourse
I have compiled a beginner eCourse on North American forestry. Although there is a wealth of information online to assist the tree or forest owner, it is nearly impossible to find it all from a single source.Who Should Take The eCourse?
I've created lessons that touch ten major tree and forest subject areas. These lessons are designed to give both the forest owner and tree enthusiast a well rounded overview of trees and forestry in North America. This is also an excellent resource for a Boy Scout working on the forestry merit badge.
How Long Is The eCourse?
The lessons will come to you in the form of ten daily email newsletters. You can take it slower with the weekly version of this class - one lesson per week.
How Do I Get Started?
Sign up below and your first 10-Day Beginning Forestry lesson will arrive shortly - if it doesn't, see the "Don't Miss an Issue" section. When the last newsletter arrives you are automatically unsubscribed - no action required on your part. To unsubscribe earlier use the link at the end of one of the newsletters.
Don't Miss an Issue
Be sure to read the notes on making sure the newsletters can get past any spam-blocking measures you or your ISP have in place (below signup form). It's up to you. If your inbox is full, you won't receive delivery. If you use spam-blocking software that requires the sender to fill in a form, you won't receive delivery. You'll need to make sure that this newsletter is marked as "non-spam" or "friend" in whatever blocking software you or your ISP uses.
Doublecheck your email address! Most of the bounces I receive are from subscribers making typos on their email addresses - transposing letters, leaving out part of the address, or accidently adding extra characters.
Is your email box being filtered for spam? Don't let your newsletters end up in the trash. To ensure that you receive your mailings, please configure your spam filters to bypass any messages with a from address that ends in "about.com" (ex: newsletters@about.com).
