April 26-28, 2023, in Anchorage, Alaska, at the Sheraton Anchorage Hotel and a virtual option is available.

Reforestation is in Alaska presents a number of challenges and opportunities in both the natural and urban environment. The planting window is short and there is a need for increased nursery capacity to grow seedlings. Additionally, Alaska’s forests provide valuable ecosystem services, including wildlife habitat and carbon sequestration, so successful reforestation is essential for the state.

This meeting has an in-person and virtual option. The in-person option includes a coffee bar and catered lunch on April 27, and awards banquet, as well as an optional urban forestry tour of downtown Anchorage on April 28.
