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.


Lindsey Holm

Professional Member, BBW and Associates

I regard the conference as a “watershed” event in my career. Beyond the intellectual exchange, it was an affirmation of deeply held beliefs about working with the forest.


Charles Moreno

Founding member, on the Guild's first meeting

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


Eric Holst

Environmental Defense fund

Great event. The field day was excellent. I was very impressed with how smoothly everything went.
