About – Dave Apsley and Ohio State University Extension

Hello, I’m Dave Apsley.

I have been a Natural Resources Specialist for Ohio State University Extension since December of 2000.

I focus most of my energy on educational and applied research efforts aimed at improving forest management on private lands.  I am active member of the Ohio Woodland Stewards Program team, and recently coordinated the training efforts for the Ohio Woodlands Job Corps.

I received a bachelor’s degree in Forest Management from Purdue University (1985) and a master’s degree in Forest Resources from the University of Georgia (1987).

I have 25 years of professional experience in forestry and natural resources education, management and research.   Prior to joining Ohio State University Extension in December of 2000, I taught for six years in the Forest Management Technology at Hocking College.  Other positions that I have held include Forester and Supervisory Forester for the Department of Army at Fort Knox, Kentucky, and Research Technician and Research Coordinator in the School of Forest Resources at the University of Georgia.

I am past chair of the Ohio Society of American Foresters and a Certified Forester.   I live on a Certified Tree Farm in Jackson County, Ohio.
