Come be part of the solution! We’ve built good momentum on acheving broad-based support for the important goal of bringing an additional million acres of family forest lands under stewardship. Together we can advance the agenda.
Keynote speakers Catherine Mater, Senior Fellow at the Pinchot Institute and President of Mater Engineering and Brett Butler, Research Forester from the US Forest Service are on deck to share their findings about trends in forest ownership. This important work will play an integral role in helping inform decision makers and front-line managers about to move into the largest intergenerational transfer of private lands in our history.
