I was wearing my Guild hat at the Intertribal Timber Conference. Some other Guild members saw it and we had an impromptu mini Guild get together. It was so nice! I love what the guild represents to people who know.

EDF's conviction that prosperity and environmental stewardship must go hand in hand matches the Guild's commitment to responsible forestry.
