WCSWA Annual Meeting, Friday, November 20

Family forests: positivity and hope as working hypotheses

Dr. Mark Swanson, Starker Chair in Private and Family Forestry at Oregon State University, will discuss forest properties managed by families and individuals as places where a diverse array of beneficial practices is employed, with outcomes as diverse as the owners.  The critical economic, ecological, and social roles of family forests will be emphasized, along with consideration for how society can support family forests. 

If you have a donation for the raffle, Mary Spiering is the point of contact and is currently collecting items. You can contact her at maryspiering@gmail.com. All raffle proceeds will go toward the OSU scholarship fund for Washington County students attending Oregon State University and majoring in forestry.

Be sure to send in the banquet registration found in the October Forest Forum to reserve a place.  See page 3 for more details about the banquet.
