Forest science and technology extension is instrumental in advancing modernized and efficient forestry production and construction. The current status of forestry sci-tech extension was examined in Shexian County of Southern Anhui Mountainous Region, focusing on industrial support, technical services, and university-local cooperation, while identifying existing challenges and proposing targeted solutions. The study area has achieved notable progress through various initiatives including ecological restoration demonstration projects, cultivation and pest control training programs, an joint construction, collaboration and sharing among government, enterprises, academia and research institutions collaborative model, establishment of national demonstration bases, and development of green brands. Nevertheless, persistent issues remain regarding the practical application of scientific achievements, professional capacity building, and effectiveness of extension programs. Based on this, development countermeasures for forestry science and technology promotion work are proposed, specifically including encouraging research institutions and other production and research entities to strengthen technological innovation and equipment research and development in forestry production and processing, and deepening the construction of a collaborative innovation system integrating industry, academia, research and application; increasing the introduction of high-level forestry science and technology talents, optimizing the talent echelon construction, promoting the youth and professionalization of technical personnel, and enhancing the vitality of forestry science and technology innovation; strengthening financial support for forestry science and technology promotion, cultivating leading enterprises, cooperatives and other new types of business entities, developing characteristic industries such as mountain walnuts and oil tea, and intensifying technical training to promote large-scale operation and increase the added value of forest products. This article provides a reference for promoting the sustainable development of forestry science and technology promotion work.
