Forest Dan’s Full Spectrum Forestry program
began in 2004, with the Oregon Family Forest Fair. Then and always, the
program is free and open to the public, with thanks to sponsors for the
expenses.
The point of the Full Spectrum Forestry events are to get the most targeted
information to the most people, including the general public that shares
an interest.
The program takes on several variations, depending on the
venue and the attendees, but nearly always
includes a broad but complete
description of the vast range of topics that
make up forestry and discussions
about forestry. This is for children and adults, Tree Huggers and Tree
Whackers, and everyone in between.
In the FSF program, questions from the attendees drives the direction
of the discussions and no questions go unanswered or referred. The initial
description of the Full Spectrum of Forestry includes a broad range of
topics falling into three main categories;
- These Wonderful Forests
- Valuable
Forest Products and other Marketable attributes
- Enterprise, managing
much more than just the forest..
These main categories are then broken out in understandable subjects
and presented or discussed until all aspects have been explored. For an
example, please see the schedule for the day of the Family Forest Fair
of 2004.
