2022 Carbon Friendly Forestry Conference

The conference returns as a virtual, two-day event this fall on December 7th and 8th.

Sign up here to join our outreach list and stay up to date as planning continues!

As always, the conference will aim to explore and discuss the intersections of forest management, communities, climate change and more in West Coast working forests. We are still figuring out many details, including formats and times of the conference sessions. The sessions will not take up entire days but will instead be spaced out over two days to reduce time demands and video–call fatigue for participants. We recommend marking these dates on your calendar as we work out further scheduling details.

Registration will likely open in September, and we will make more details available as planning progresses.
