The Master Woodland Manager (MWM) training is offered by Oregon State University Forestry and Natural Resources Extension as a high level course for private landowners who are interested in an intensive forest management training and sharing the knowledge gained through this training with people in their local communities. Oregon State University Forestry & Natural Resources Extension Program provides this intensive eight-module program to train volunteers to help other landowners. After completing the program, volunteers provide service in a wide array of capacities, such as helping lead forest tours, meeting with neighbors, answering questions and working with youth. Master Woodland Manager workshops for woodland owners and managers cover topics that include ecology, silviculture (tree thinning and other practices to manage for a desired forest condition), wildlife habitat enhancement, logging and business management.
