World-renowned for the natural beauty and plentiful resources our forests provide, Oregon is also increasingly becoming a victim of a devasting annual wildfire season that not only scorches our land but significant local industries and our region’s economy as well.
Next Monday, November 13, our Forum Speaker Series welcomes a panel of experts to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing Oregon forests, the economic impacts of wildfires and other external forces, and how we, as a community, can chart a healthier path forward with forest management solutions.

WHEN: Monday, November 13, 2023, 11:30am to 1:00pm
