 A071 Networking in Action: Forestry Extension Materials in Review
Edited with an introductory essay by Edwin Shanks, 1992. ODI Rural Development Forestry Network Paper
14
This review was carried out over ten years ago, in response to network requests for advice on how to
produce good extension materials.
ODI's website states that "the paper reviewed more than 170 field guides from around the world,
ranging from highly technical handbooks to
short illustrated pamphlets, variously intended for land users, field staff, project managers, trainers,
schools and researchers. Presenting
examples of summarised texts, the author discussed, among other things, alternative structures for field
guides (e.g. calendar or toolbox),
the use of illustrations, what subject matter was available and what not, and how extension materials
could be better tailored to their
audiences. An annotated bibliography of all the reviewed items concluded the paper."
Although carried out over a decade ago, and focusing on forestry extension, the documents identifed
and conclusions can still be helpful.
