This year\, the Summit will take place over the course of three days\, and programs will focus on connecting the future of our forests & communities. Each day will include a series of themed presentations and discussions from and for forestry researchers\, practitioners\, and educators to share their approaches to modern ecological forestry. \nWe invite natural resource professionals\, students and educators\, and members of NGOs\, private or public organizations to join us for three days of forestry education and innovation in the woods. Overnight accommodations are available at Pack Forest. \nCovid Precautions \nThis event is following UW COVID rules\, and masks are not required\, but encouraged during all indoor sessions. Commonly used surfaces will be disinfected regularly and  hand sanitizer will be available at each building.  \nIf you are sick with any illness\, you must stay home\, even if you are fully vaccinated\, per University of Washington policies. \nTo Overnight Lodgers \nWe encourage lodgers to take an at-home test the day before arrival as all lodging is shared.
