Wrap-Up and resources
Anna B Stockstad: Hi, everyone. I'm Anna Stocks out of the University of Minnesota Extension.
Dave Nolle - MN Logger Ed Program: and I'm. David Moly with the Minnesota Longer education program.
Anna B Stockstad: We're back today with our final podcast episode in this Fmg: Podcast series. And this is just gonna be a wrap up episode. I always want to say thank you all. So much for listening to this podcast series, and thank you for our guests for joining us. During these past 12 episodes we really learned a lot, and it was good to have
a refresher on the guidelines. And that's really what this podcast is meant for.
Anna B Stockstad: It's just supposed to be a quick refresher for our listeners if they need a quick review of the guidelines prior to attending in person fuel training on the Fmgs. This is something you know. You can listen to in the car while you're driving.
Anna B Stockstad: It's pretty easy just to review, but there are other resources that you could go to if you need a deeper review of the forest management guidelines.
Dave Nolle - MN Logger Ed Program: you know, and i'm excited to to to work through these it's been fun recording all these podcasts. It's my first for a into this experience, and perhaps it's the first time for many of our listeners even bothering to to dig into a podcast.
Dave Nolle - MN Logger Ed Program: I'm. I'm. A little curious to see if if we do Podcast or Youtube or Heck. Maybe we're gonna get snipped and turn into some sort of a tik tok sensation or something here. Perhaps not
Dave Nolle - MN Logger Ed Program: all the stuff that we've talked about in these last 12 episodes, and what we'll be doing in the field at our various sites is a lot of that information is all in the Pocket Guide. And actually, I don't have one handy here for those that are seeing it on Youtube, but I always like to hold up a pocket kind.
Dave Nolle - MN Logger Ed Program: And then the Efmg. Training, perhaps a bit sarcastic that wes spoken here. But it it might be, it might be a fun one for folks to to jump on the mallep.org on our website, grab a module or to retake something that maybe maybe you haven't taken in the last 2 or 3 or 5, or
Dave Nolle - MN Logger Ed Program: even 20 years. So to go to go, grab a refresher or check check check those resources and see what's available to you.
Anna B Stockstad: And we're really excited about this field. Fmg: training. And so, just for context, this is being organized by the Minnesota Force Resources Council, the Minnesota Logger education program.
that sustainable Forests Education cooperative and you have an extension. So this really is a team effort, and we're really excited to see all this coming together, and the podcast is just a first step in this field training efforts so really excited to have you listening hopefully. It's been entertaining and not too boring. But we've definitely had a good time recording these podcasts.
Dave Nolle - MN Logger Ed Program: you know. I'd say, if if if the listener is really excited about the podcast, and you're wanting to be the next celebrity out to me@theminnesotalongereducationprograminlep.org, you find our number of contact information in a sporadic podcast series on a variety of topics relevant to loggers, to forestry professionals to to the general public evening might be something interesting for us to try in the weeks, months, and years ahead.
Anna B Stockstad: and as we go forward into the future, I think it's really important that our listeners are staying involved, and up to date with content related to the forest management guidelines because they are currently being revised.
Anna B Stockstad: The Mfrc. Is currently in the middle of the process of potentially updating these guidelines. So we've done this entire review process for the guidelines where we took in. You know
Anna B Stockstad: we did a stakeholder survey to get input from our stakeholders. We reviewed the monitoring data, and we also did a research or a literature review of research related to
the guidelines. And now we're currently in the process of figuring out what these specific revisions are going to be for the guidelines, and so far there are no major changes to the guidelines. Nothing big is going to change. It's looking like right now. It's just going to be minor updates some additional language and clarification.
But nothing huge is going to be changing with the guidelines.
Anna B Stockstad: But still make sure you're staying tuned to updates related to the revision of the Fmgs, and that might come into play during our fuel trainings as well. So just making sure you're staying up to date with everything related to the Fmgs
Dave Nolle - MN Logger Ed Program: cool. Well, this has been fun. I'm looking forward to the next ones and looking forward to seeing everybody in our in our field trainings in the in the fall and then on into the year end.
Anna B Stockstad: Yeah, thanks, everyone for listening. And Thank you, Dave, for being a co-host and bearing with me during these past episodes. And yeah, we'll see you in the field. Thanks. Everyone.
