Women’s Forest Congress
The Women’s Forest Congress is a forum to develop strategies and solutions for forests through a female lens. Women throughout the forest space have come together to share personal and professional experiences, connect with other women in the sector, shape the latest innovations, and consider how actions informed by the female perspective can make a profound impact on the future of forests.
The Inaugural Women’s Forest Congress will take place October 17-20, 2022 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Until then, there are many opportunities to engage today, including topical working groups and virtual conversations. The Steering Committee wants your perspective, ideas, and guidance to ensure the Congress is a success.
