This morning we’re sending a big “Congratulations” to Eli Sagor and the folks at the University of Minnesota Extension on the one year anniversary of MyMinnesotaWoods.org. Listening to Eli this morning on the KAXE morning show brought back memories of when we all first started talking about developing an innovative Internet resource to encourage sustainable management of Minnesota’s family forest lands.
From concept to reality, today MyMinnesotaWoods.org is resource-rich, and according to Eli, the site will soon be offering more opportunities Minnesota family forest owners to share what they’re learning in the Minnesota woods.

Thanks for the post! This is one of many recent projects that wouldn’t have gotten off the ground without Blandin Foundation support. Congratulations are due to the Foundation and VF/VC initiative too.
MyMinnesotaWoods.org has been a fun project. Judging from site traffic and the discussion board, it’s one that seems to have made a difference to a lot of people.
As mentioned on KAXE, we look forward to making the site more interactive: we want woodland owners, foresters, and others to share their knowledge and experience with their peers. More soon. Onward and upward!
