Through our national partnership with Be Pro Be Proud, we are excited to be introducing students to rewarding career paths in the skilled workforce, including opportunities in forestry and the forest products industry. This work is a big part of Weyerhaeuser's ongoing support for rural operating communities, and this week, we were honored to engage with leaders from around the country at Be Pro Be Proud’s 2024 National Conference in Greenville, South Carolina. Many thanks to our partners and the attendees for the great conversations and engagement! Read more about the work we’re doing together: https://lnkd.in/gHRPDmwy

"Our 30-year anniversary is next year. From the beginning, we’ve known that our vision of ecological, economical, and socially responsible forestry as the standard for forest management from coast to coast requires collective effort from a strong, supportive community. Today, the Guild community is stronger than ever, and each member is continuously improving our collective knowledge, efforts, collaborations, and impact."

Excellent summary of a seminar series on “(Re)Considering Planted Forests for the 21st Century,” which was hosted by The Forest School at the Yale School of the Environment and The Forests Dialogue in fall 2022. The series featured a wide range of experts, including our CSO Mark Wishnie who spoke about new opportunities for linking investment in commercial forestry with forest restoration (pp. 30-33). The series also included talks from speakers across academia, conservation nonprofits, the forest products industry, and Indigenous and forest-based communities, sharing various perspectives on the future of planted forests. It is well worth a read!

You can't properly manage what you don't measure. That's why Regional Director Shawn Hagan and our local forestry consultants from Steigerwaldt Land Services, Inc. are on-site at our new Flambeau River property in northern Wisconsin for operations inventory: collecting tree measurements and data to determine what species of trees we have, how big they are, and what value they have in the forest product marketplace. This information is key in determining the health of the forest and guiding future management decisions - and is just one of the ways we ensure our carbon credits are of the highest quality and integrity.

President and CEO @AmericanForests I Movement Builder for #TreeEquity & #Forests4Climate I Policy Wonk I Published Author from Op-eds to Science Journals I Running with #ADHD I Bluegrass Mando Player I Crazed Dog Lover
As someone raised the child of two ministers and now anchored by my Quaker faith that I discovered as an adult, American Forests work to support Faith organizations' leadership on #TreeEquity is deeply resonant for me. I know from personal and professional experience the moral clarity and "can do" energy that Faith groups bring to this work--they understand full well that Tree Equity isn't about trees, but rather what they can do for people. Tree Equity is another pathway for Faith organizations to continue their work in areas such as #HealthEquity, #ClimateJustice and #EconomicOpportunity for those who need it most, like formerly incarcerated persons. I can't wait to see how we can build on the vital role many Faith organizations are already playing in the Tree Equity movement with new capacity for partnership and direct funding to Faith organizations for this work that is being made possible by the #InflationReductionAct. So if you wondering if we can really achieve Tree Equity in our cities, just have Faith... USDA Forest Service Beattra Wilson, Ph.D.Nausheen Iqbal Benita Hussain Lida Aljabar, AICP Joel O. Pannell Vikram Krishnamurthy Tanner Haid Ian Leahy #UrbanForests #UrbanForestry #ClimateJustice
Faith-based organizations of all religions and congregations are critical anchors in communities across US cities. Because of their role, they can be critical partners in urban forestry and increasing tree canopy in areas that need it most. Join us for our fourth session in our #TreeEquity Webinar Series: Faith in Tree Equity, April 25 @ 2 pm EST with Creation Justice Ministries!
