Institute for Sustainable Forestry Announces Spring/Summer 2026 Event Series

This is a press release from the Institute for Sustainable Forestry:

The Institute for Sustainable Forestry (ISF), a nonprofit promoting sustainable forest management in the Pacific Northwest since 1991, has announced a full schedule of community events for Spring and Summer 2026. From hands-on workshops to field tours of active restoration projects, the series offers opportunities for forest professionals, landowners, and community members to engage directly with working forests across Humboldt and Mendocino counties.

“These events reflect ISF’s core mission — connecting people with forests and with each other,” said Chip Tittmann, President of ISF. “Whether you’re a seasoned forester or just curious about how sustainable timber operations work, there’s something here for you.”

Upcoming Events Include:
