For sixty years, World Forestry Center has stood at the intersection of forests and society—exploring how the health of one shapes the future of the other.
Join World Forestry Center for a special 60th Anniversary Forest Pub as we bring together a dynamic panel spanning forest management and science, conservation ethics, Indigenous stewardship, and the arts. Together, we’ll reflect on how society’s relationship with forests has evolved over the past six decades and how it can evolve to meet the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Moderated by Joe Furia, Executive Director of World Forestry Center, this discussion will invite you to imagine what’s possible for forests and communities over the next sixty years.
At World Forestry Center, we believe forest stewardship is essential to thriving communities, resilient economies, and a livable climate. We create space to expand forest-focused dialogue, partnership, and action that honors tradition while embracing innovation and possibility.
This signature Forest Pub is part of our 60th Anniversary celebration: Rooted in our past. Resilient in the present. Rising to shape the future. Join us to raise a glass to the next 60 years of forest stewardship!
