摘要：This reportdescribes a long-term impact evaluation conducted bya Forestry Extension program.Documenting long-term impacts is increasingly important to demonstrate the perceived public value of Extension programming. However, the extended time frame of forestry activities creates challenges for technology transfer, including the realizationof learning objectivesand reporting to administrators and public officials.Mississippi State Universityhas attempted to address these challengesthrough in-personimpact evaluation. Three years of results are presented froman ongoing long-term impact assessment conducted after clients receivedforestry information from an educational program.The assessmentdemonstrated31% of clients hadimplemented forestry practices since attending Extension educational programs.Almost 47% planned to implement practices in the future,and over 73% reported Extension educational programshelped them be more profitablein forest management.Methodological challenges and implications for future educational efforts arediscussed.
