LMS Training Workshops a Tremendous Success:
More Scheduled
The Landscape Management System (LMS) is a forestry computer program developed at the University of Washington. LMS combines growth and yield models with analytical and visualization capabilities to provide foresters with a powerful tool for management planning. LMS is available on CD (upon request) or for download from the World Wide Web (http://lms.cfr.washington.edu/lms.shtml ) at no charge. RTI conducted two LMS training workshops for forestry consultants, small forestland owners, and tribal foresters during October and November of 2000. One workshop was held in Colville, WA and the other in Forks, WA. Attendees were provided with the LNIS program on CD, a printed tutorial, and two and one half days of software training under the direction of Professor Chad Oliver of the UW College of Forest Resources. Both sessions had capacity registrations and generated very positive feedback. Publications Lippke, Bruce, Scott Marshall, Michelle Ludwig, Jeffrey Moffett, Dave Fitzpatrick and B. Bruce Bare. 2000.
