Globally, forests are intrinsic to conservation and economically important on many levels. Through interaction with attendees, we will explore various reasons to be involved with international forestry. These include an enlarged perspective on US forestry issues, leadership development opportunities, and the opportunity to make contributions to the world community.

Organized by the SAF International Forestry Working Group. Learning Objectives:
Describe how international forestry is relevant to forestry concerns in the USA.
Describe how experience in international forestry helps build leadership skills.
Find opportunities for participating in forestry in other countries.
