For today’s forestry and natural resource professionals, relevance extends beyond research alone. It means adapting to changing landscapes, embracing new technologies, exploring forest product markets and engaging with communities to lead through collaboration.
The enduring partnership between research and management is not just historic—it is urgently necessary to sustain sound management under rapidly evolving ecological and socioeconomic conditions. Reaffirming and strengthening this connection is essential for sustaining sound, science-based forest management into the future.
The California Forest Science Symposium (CFSS) will bring together foresters, researchers, and policymakers to reflect on the rich history of forestry, share current advancements, and look ahead to the future of sustainable forest management.
