He serves as the continuing education coordinator for the Inland Empire section of the Society of American Foresters. Schnepf has written many extension publications and articles for the popular press, produced award-winning videos on selective timber harvesting and forest water quality, and received the Society of American Foresters National Award for Technology Transfer in 2019.
