PFA News: Register Now for Annual Symposium

By Randy White, Pennsylvania Forestry Association President

The PA Forestry Association (PFA) invites you to the 2023 Annual Symposium Saturday, November 4 at Toftrees Golf Resort in State College, PA. This year, PFA welcomes the opportunity for the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry’s Leadership team and Resources Planning Section to share the Bureau’s new strategic plan.

For over 125 years, the Bureau of Forestry has worked in partnership with the public and stakeholders to manage and steward the forests of Pennsylvania. Since the establishment of its first strategic plan for Penn’s Woods 30 years ago, the Bureau has been building from its foundations and engaging in new ways with people and forest resources. Today, the forests of Pennsylvania—and the people they support—are facing new and complex challenges. The Bureau and its partners, peers, and the public have been developing a new strategic plan that will chart the path forward for facing these challenges and generating a future where we, together, care for Pennsylvania’s forests for all.

Join PFA members and friends on November 4 to learn more about this strategic plan and what it means to you and your passion for and role in caring for the forests of Pennsylvania as our speakers address three key themes throughout the day: Making Connections, Stewarding Resources, and Working Together. Our annual awards will also be presented. Come, ask questions, and engage with the Bureau and each other about the future of our collective forests. Registration required; deadline: October 20
