About the Women's Forest Congress

The Women's Forest Congress is a dynamic and inclusive forum to develop strategies and solutions for forests. Women throughout the forest space have come together to share personal and professional experiences, connect with each other, shape the latest innovations, and consider how actions informed by our perspectives can make a profound impact on the future of forests. We envision a world where there is universal equity and inclusion in our forest community. All women are heard, empowered, and have a sense of belonging. The influence and impact of all women are reflected in our relationships with forests. Women will gather in person at the inaugural Women's Forest Congress October 17-20, 2022, to use our diverse perspectives and collective expertise to develop strategies and solutions to address the most pressing current and forthcoming challenges for forests and women. And we will always advocate for the most compelling opportunities for women in the forest community. Learn more about the Women's Forest Congress.
