OSU Offering Land Mangement Short Course for Landowners

Thu, 21 Jul 2011 15:30:42 CDT

OSU Offering Land Mangement Short Course for Landowners One hundred dollars can go a long way for anyone interested in managing land for wildlife, livestock, fish or timber.


That is the cost for Land Management 101, a short course offered by the Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management at Oklahoma State University.


"This course would be particularly helpful for new or absentee landowners," said Dwayne Elmore, OSU Cooperative Extension wildlife specialist. "We are offering advice and direction on several different topics that will prove helpful for landowners."


One topic will be covering the techniques and differences in season of burn using prescribed fire. This section will illustrate the impacts to habitat and plants after burns and how frequency of burns will determine the outcome. Also, laws and regulations will be covered.


Other topics include grazing management, timber management, wildlife management and pond management.


"We will discuss how to set stocking rates and how animal movement and the use of cattle as a tool for other objectives is possible during the grazing management section," Elmore said. "The timber management section will cover basic forestry, harvest strategies, markets available inOklahoma and more."


Landowners with ponds will learn how to stock fish and maintain good fishing, while soaking in pond construction and maintenance tips. Also, information on beneficial plants and weed control will be shared.


Finally, wildlife management will include quail, white-tailed deer and wild turkey management. There also will be tips on how to deal with wildlife damage and how lease hunting can be profitable for landowners.


The $100 fee includes lunch and should be made payable to OSU-NREM by August 5. Land Management 101 will take place August 27 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Oklahoma County Extension Office at 903 N. Portland Avenue in Oklahoma City.


For more information on the short course, contact Elmore by phone at 405-744-9636 or by email at dwayne.elmore@okstate.edu.
