About the Event
Southern pine forests are at a crossroads. For generations, timber defined their purpose, fueling local economies and shaping communities across Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana. But today, markets have shifted, mills have closed, and many forests are overstocked and under-diverse. The next era demands more than sustaining the past; it calls for re-imagining the future.
Forestry Forward isn’t just another conference; it’s a lively summit designed to foster open dialogue, share ideas, and tackle challenges together. Attendees won’t be stuck in long lectures or watching endless slide shows; instead, they’ll enjoy meaningful table discussions, guided discussions, and collaborative efforts to prioritize ideas that will shape the future of southern pine forests. The aim is to build honest, respectful conversations across industry, conservation, policy, and research—where even disagreements can lead to clearer insights and smarter solutions. This gathering is for curious, candid individuals who are eager to think outside the box, leaving not just with notes but with a clear sense of direction. Forestry Forward is intentionally designed as a summit, not a workshop or symposium.
Ticket price: $250 per person
