2019 WFI International Fellowship Program – Forestry Lightning Talks
September 12, 2019 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Free
Meet eight Fellows from around the world who came to Oregon to see how we meet global forestry challenges. They hope to take what they’ve learned here to improve their communities back home. Fellows will be sharing their project findings and how they are planning to implement change using their new knowledge. What we do in Oregon is inspiring people to impact their own corner of the planet.
Join us for the International Fellows‘ final ten-minute presentations!
