- About me:
- Greetings! I originally hail from Missouri and received my Bachelor's in Biology with a minor in Communications from Truman State University in northern MO. I recently completed my Master's degree in Conservation Biology at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, and am currently working for U of M Extension with Eli Sagor as a Research Associate for the Woodland Owner Networks project. My thesis research looked at multiple case studies of landowner networks in the U.S. and Australia, exploring the role of peer learning within these organizations and the potential for such landowner networks to serve as a tool for assisting family forest landowners.
Eli and I are currently working on making this site an even better medium for this network - your feedback, suggestions, and most of all your participation is highly encouraged!

Studies have shown us that landowners include both peers and professionals in their information networks. But when and why do landowners prefer to use peer information sources over professional ones, and vice versa?
A recent multi-case study of five diverse landowner organizations performed by researchers at the University of Minnesota (some key findings are summarized here) yielded…
