** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** MUCH IS KNOWN ABOUT THE CHARACTERISTICS, ATTITUDES, AND BEHAVIORS OF U.S. FAMILY FOREST OWNERS AND AGRICULTURAL LANDOWNERS INDEPENDENTLY. HOWEVER, LITTLE IS KNOWN ABOUT THOSE WHO OWN BOTH WOODLAND AND FARMLAND, AND WHAT, IF ANY, AGROFORESTRY AND WOODLAND MANAGEMENT THESE FARMER WOODLAND OWNERS UNDERTAKE. ADDITIONALLY, IT IS LIKELY THAT THESE LANDOWNERS HAVE A SIMILAR PREDISPOSITION TO PEER LEARNING AND THERE MAY BE ROOM TO EXPAND THEIR PARTICIPATION IN CONSERVATION PROGRAMS, BUT THIS ALSO NEEDS FURTHER RESEARCH. INVESTMENT INTO BRINGING AGRIUCLTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCE PROFESSIONALS TOGETHER AND COORDINATING EFFORTS WOULD HELP SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED FARMERS NAVIGATE POTENTIAL STRATEGIES FOR INNOVATIVE USES OF TREES AND FORESTS WITHIN AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS THAT COULD PROVIDE PATHWAYS FOR IMPROVING FARM VIABILITY AND INCREASING ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL BENEFIT. MOREOVER, PILOT WORK INTERVIEWING BOTH PRODUCERS AND PROFESSIONALS SUPPORTS THE NEED FOR BETTER CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN PROFESSIONALS AND ACCESS TO RESOURCES AMONG FARMERS. A TEAM OF MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN, AND OHIO RESEARCHERS AND EXTENSION PROFESSIONALS PROPOSE TO SURVEY AND INTERVIEW FARMERS AND NATURAL RESOURCE PROFESSIONALS TO ADDRESS THESE GAPS AND DELIVER PEER TO PEER LEARNING CIRCLES, REFINEMENT OF DECISION SUPPORT TOOLS, COST-SHARE FOR MANAGEMENT PLANS AND AGROFORESTRY PRACTICES, AND CASE STUDY VIDEOS TO HIGHLIGHT AGROFORESTRY AND WOODLAND MANAGEMENT OPTIONS AS WELL AS EMERGING MARKET OPPORTUNITIES WITH CO-BENEFITS TO GREAT LAKES ECOSYSTEMS.
