Extension Forestry and Natural Resources programs encompass a broad range of forestry topics essential for supporting forest stewardship across diverse landowner interests and needs. More than 1,000 adult participants engaged in 110 classes and workshops at events such as Tree School Clackamas, Tree School Field Day, a Basic Forestry Shortcourse, and seasonal field days. Special emphasis was placed on priority issues and needs identified by clientele or observed by agents in the field. Key priorities in 2024 included tree health, wildfire preparedness, forest recovery post-fire, invasive species, and evolving forest practice regulations.

Local programming also offers personalized education to support landowners and land managers. Tree decline and mortality remain significant concerns, driven by drought, heat, and compounded by insects and disease. Many individuals are also facing challenges in restoring woodlands impacted by wildfires, storms, and heat damage. A tailored approach is crucial in evaluating each situation and providing appropriate management guidance. In 2024, this included approximately 400 consultations via phone, online, and in person.
