Idaho Master Forest Stewards

The Idaho Master Forest Stewards (IMFS) Program is a certified volunteer program and peer to peer learning community that provides educational assistance to help forest owners and others learn more about Idaho forestry. IMFS training includes 70 plus hours of indoor and outdoor learning activities.

After completing training, Idaho Master Forest Stewards undertake a variety of volunteer activities, much like Idaho Master Gardeners and 4-H leaders. Examples include:

Outreach to individual forest owners
Helping with UI Extension forestry workshops and field days
Helping forest owner associations
Teaching youth about forests
Forest-related community service projects
Writing newsletters or newspaper articles on forestry
Working with UI Extension and partner agencies to guide efforts for forest owners
