The Forestry Webinar Portal is a multidisciplinary webinar platform launched by Southern Regional Extension Forestry (SREF), focusing on forestry, natural resources, agriculture, conservation, climate science, bioenergy, and related fields. It lists upcoming live events as well as on-demand recordings. The site states that it hosts more than 100 professional live webinars each year and has over 884 archived webinars.
The platform’s main strength is its highly specialized vertical focus. Example topics include the ecology and management of invasive grasses, identifying herbicide symptoms in forest environments, Phytophthora diseases in trees, soil health, organic agriculture research updates, and livestock basics. Courses are mainly delivered as live webinars and on-demand recordings. Some live sessions are run through tools such as Microsoft Teams, and the site also notes compatibility with platforms including Zoom, Adobe Connect, WebEx, and GoToWebinar. No information about 1-on-1 instruction was found.
For certification, the platform supports continuing education credits, quizzes, automatically generated completion certificates, and cooperation with multiple professional certification bodies. Some courses specifically mention Certified Crop Advisor Continuing Education Credits. The primary language is English. The site offers Google Translate text translation, but clearly states that translation is an experimental feature; text in videos and images is not translated, and accuracy is not guaranteed. Institutional backing is strong, with participating organizations including SREF, NC State Extension Forestry, USDA Forest Service, USDA NRCS, and University of Georgia.
The site states that most webinars are free for viewers, which is a major value advantage. However, it does not disclose detailed pricing or payment methods for all courses, hosting services, or institutional partnerships. Key strengths include professional resources, a strong public-service orientation, the ability to earn continuing education credits, and email subscription reminders. Limitations include a clear focus on the U.S. forestry and natural resource management context, live sessions scheduled in U.S. Eastern Time, fluctuating course availability depending on the calendar, and some categories having no upcoming live events.
It is best suited to forestry, agriculture, and natural resource conservation professionals, land managers, researchers, educators, and people who want to understand U.S. extension practices or earn continuing education credits. Chinese users can use it as an English-language professional lecture library, but the site does not state whether network access, Google Translate, Microsoft Teams/Zoom, or other third-party tools work reliably from China, so access from China should be considered unknown. For Chinese-language alternatives, users may also compare China University MOOC and open courses from domestic agriculture and forestry universities. For international alternatives, FAO e-learning, Coursera, or edX environmental and agriculture courses may be worth considering.
