SFEC and the Minnesota Society of American Foresters are partnering to deliver the Forestry and Wildlife Research and Practice Review! The purpose of this symposium is to present new applied research, knowledge gained through practice, and case study findings relevant to regional natural resource managers, with a focus on silviculture, forest management, and forest-associated wildlife. This focus includes topics related to policy, economics, inventory, remote sensing, and other topics pertaining to forests and associated with natural resources stewardship. 

The audience is professional natural resource managers. Presentations and posters will emphasize results and management implications. We encourage folks to join us in-person, but we do have an online option available for those who need it. 

Logistics and planning related to the MN SAF annual meeting are still being coordinated; however, plan for the usual SAF-specific events such as the silent auction, chapter business meeting, and the student/professional cornhole tournament in addition to presentations and technical talks delivered as part of the Research Review. 

CEs: The CE rating has typically been about 6 CEs but depends on our final agenda. 

Accessibility: We will be indoors for the duration of the symposium. A nursing mother's room with supplies is available; reach out to Lane Moser at [email protected] for this and any other accommodations. 

Lodging: We have lodging available at the CFC; for questions and reservations please contact Rylee Cyr at [email protected].
