Question Title

* 3. Thinking about the future, is there one area where you would suggest OFRI place more emphasis in the next few years?

Public Education – advertising, publications, Speakers Bureau, opinion research

K-12 Teachers / Student Education – teacher training, field trip support, classroom programs

Landowner Education – workshops, conferences, support for OSU Extension

Wood Products User Education – publications, forums, conferences

Earned Media – public exposure for forestry and forest products in news media

Social Media – interact with the public via social media (Facebook, etc.)

Forest Interpretation – public tours, interpretive signage, Rediscovery Forest

No change – I’m comfortable with OFRI’s current program emphasis.
