Join the Guild’s Seeing the Forest for the Queers program for our October Quarterly meeting. Our panelists will discuss recruitment and retention strategies, how lack or inclusion of DEI effects queer professionals, and how we can be more inclusive in the field.
This event is open to all professionals and students within forestry and natural resources who identify with the LGBTQIA+ community, and their allies.
What is Seeing the Forest for the Queers? Seeing the Forest for the Queers, or SFQ, is a group building community and connection among LGBTQIA+ professionals and students in forestry and natural resources.
