2023 SAF National Convention – Forestry: It’s in Our DNA
October 25 - October 29
October 25 – 29, 2023.
It’s back! The premier forestry professional development, networking, and community connection event of the year—the SAF National Convention (SAF2023)—will be held in Sacramento, CA, from October 25 to 28.
This event provides the nation’s highest-quality, multi-disciplinary technical program appealing to natural resources and forestry practitioners, managers, researchers, educators, entrepreneurs, and decision makers.
Our theme is “Forestry: It’s in Our DNA.” But what does that mean? Forestry—and what it means to be a forester—is multi-faceted with many backgrounds, disciplines, and experiences shaping our profession’s past, present, and future. “Forestry: It’s in Our DNA” references both the proud legacy of forestry and the ongoing challenges and opportunities that foresters and natural resources professionals face.
SAF2023 will bring together novel science and on-the-ground management techniques, while focusing on how to better communicate our passion to the public, and building a community that can tackle impacts from a changing climate.
Explore SAF2023’s subthemes, details about presenting at convention, sponsorship opportunities, and more on our convention website.
The convention website is now live at https://eforester.org/Safconvention2023/Default.aspx.
