 After we moved here I was looking for different avenues for resources and I discovered the Alabama Extension Office had many to offer. The first program I enrolled in with Alabama Extension was Master Gardeners and through that program I learned about other programs and workshops that the Extension Office had to offer including Forest Her, which was a program basically designed for women who are interested in managing forests. For me to go through the Forest Her workshop with other women that were basically in the same boat I was in. You know some of them didn't know anything about management, some of them were widows, some of them just wanted to take the course maybe to meet people. It was just awesome. I can honestly tell you I enjoyed the entirety of the program. The workshop from beginning to end was very informative, very relaxed, non-intimidating environment, excellent instructors and through the Forest Her workshop I was able to learn things that I didn't know before and it was very beneficial for me to know that you know what I can do that now I have the knowledge to do that and if I don't know something I have resources and contacts that can help me figure out what what I need to do where do I need to go with this.
