Discover the Power of Forests at Forest Pub
This year, we launched Forest Pub, a dynamic monthly event in partnership with McMenamins at the historic Mission Theater in NW Portland. Designed to bring the community together, Forest Pub explores the many ways forests shape our lives—from the natural resources we depend on to the culture and innovations they inspire.
Our first events sold out, drawing an eager and diverse audience to discussions on topics like Indigenous land management in the Willamette Valley, the use of locally sourced wood in the new Portland International Airport terminal, and tree migration with OPB’s All Science. No Fiction. Held on the second Monday of each month, this engaging series features expert speakers who connect the dots between forests, culture, science, and creativity.

Join us at Forest Pub as we raise a glass to the forests that sustain us!
