📅 Thursday, July 17, 3:00 to 4:15 PM EST
📍 9th American Forestry Congress, Cabinet Room

This deep-dive round-table will provide young forest professionals with an opportunity to engage in an interactive discussion exploring the diversity of forest professionals working across our forested landscapes. As future stewards of forests and forest ecosystems, youth are positively influencing and shaping different aspects of forests and their resources in different capacities. This dialogue will provide a unique opportunity for young forest professionals to hear and learn from their peers’ lived experiences and realities of the forest sector. Through honest discussion and storytelling, this side event will provide an opportunity for cultural exchanges (e.g., understanding forest sector work environments in different regions of the world) and reflect a sense of community and camaraderie within the sector.
