In 1999, the University of Georgia Daniel B. Warnell School of Forest Resources developed Forestry: Area Specialty Advanced Training (FASAT) to strengthen Cooperative Extension Service county program delivery system areas of sustainable forest productivity and profitability in annual week-long training programs. FASAT covers all 159 counties and all 55 clusters with 67 agents working in areas of forest productivity as well as urban/rural interface forestry. After initial training, university faculty and FASAT agents teamed in 1999 to prepare a series of seven multicounty (37 counties covered) forestry meetings involving over seven hundred non-industrial private forest landowners and over one million acres of forest land. Those meetings offered NIPF landowners information that could allow them to increase net returns to their tree crops by a conservative estimate of $10 per acre per year, an estimated total of $10 million per year in Georgia.
