Tools for Engaging Landowners Effectively

Content Detail

Overview

Tools for Engaging Landowners Effectively (TELE) works with partner organizations from all sectors to help them design and implement more effective programming and outreach. TELE can help professionals convince more landowners to adopt the desired behavior, whether that’s harvesting timber, permanently conserving land, or anything in between.

TELE can help connect natural resource professionals with their audiences on a more personal and meaningful level. Most important, TELE tools and techniques can help leverage resources to successfully reach and persuade the right audiences to achieve landscape goals.

The TELE site also includes a landowner profiles database, which uses data from the National Woodland Owner Survey. Natural resource professionals can gain understanding of the different types of landowners, such as farmers, absentee owners, and others.

Tools for Engaging Landowners Effectively (TELE) is a project of the Sustaining Family Forests Initiative (SFFI). SFFI was started in 2004, as a collaboration of universities, government agencies, industry, conservation organizations, and certification systems, with the primary goal of gaining and disseminating knowledge about family forest owners to improve stewardship of private forests.
