Promoting thoughtful and sustainable forest management practices for long-term health and resilience is core to the mission of the Foundation for Sustainable Forests.

In addition to our scheduled outreach events, we are able to offer a limited number of educational woods walks to landowners, forest professionals, and school groups on the properties that we manage and protect. In addition, we partner with local schools and universities on forest related research and classroom projects. If you have questions about an upcoming event or would like to work with us on an educational project please contact us.
