The Northwest Innovative Forestry Summit (NIFS) is a space for regional learning, exchange, and ongoing cooperation to foster ecologically-based forest management strategies with programs focusing on sustainable, forest-related innovation – past, present, and future. This autumn, NIFS will be hosting a webinar presentation and panel discussion that will highlight the roles of traditional and non-traditional experimental forests in innovation. Following the webinar presentation and panel discussion, NIFS will hold two field tours at experimental forests in the Pacific Northwest to feature their roles in forest management and research, as well as exploring how their work has facilitated innovation and community.
