Custom Presentations and CFE’s

Barry Shiver has a thirst for knowledge and enjoys sharing that knowledge with others.  Barry also enjoys the personal interactions that come from teaching a class.  During his career at the University of Georgia, Barry received a University wide Outstanding Teacher award in 2003.  Beginning in 1989, he taught shortcourses to foresters across the Southeast with a company called Forestry Information Services. These classes were well attended and received a tremendous amount of positive feedback. He has also taught customized courses for companies, forestry groups and organizations, and other colleges and universities.  Barry is known for delivering useful technical information that is also understandable. 

Barry can deliver custom content classes for organizations that need updating on particular topics. He can also help your company keep your foresters’ continuing forestry education (CFE) hours up to date with “in house” classes. Give us a call to set up a course.
