2019 WFI International Fellowship Program – Forestry Lightning Talks
Sept. 12 at 5:30 – 7:30 pm
Cheatham Hall, World Forestry Center
Meet eight Fellows from around the world who came to Oregon to see how we meet global forestry challenges. They hope to take what they’ve learned here to improve their communities back home. Fellows will be sharing their project findings and how they are planning to implement change using their new knowledge. What we do in Oregon is inspiring people to impact their own corner of the planet.
On July 19th, a group of 64 foresters came out of the forest and spent the day on the Trysting Tree golf course for the 13th Annual OSAF Golf Tournament. It was a fantastic day to support the OSAF Foundation and there were even rumors of some good golf shots! A big thank you to our gold sponsor Starker Forests as well as all the other sponsors to make the event a success!
