Forests + Climate Learning Exchange Series

The Forests + Climate Learning Exchange Series (LES), co-hosted by the Forest Carbon and Climate Program (FCCP), the Society of American Foresters (SAF) invites academics, practitioners, policymakers, and other experts to present innovative and important research, projects, and strategies relating to forest carbon and climate. The series aims to develop and expand knowledge and perspectives on forest carbon science, management, and strategy beyond traditional forestry audiences. The series accomplishes this through active dialogues to foster a more nuanced understanding about the relationships between forests, people, and the climate. 

Recordings will be posted below following the event. The LES has been organized and hosted by FCCP since 2017 (with initial support from the Forest-Climate Working Group). It reaches increasingly large and diverse audiences with engaging monthly presentations and active audience Q&A throughout the academic year.

Support for this series is provided, in part, by funding from SAF's Hagenstein Fund. To honor the legacy and memory of professional forester and SAF leader William D. Hagenstein, this fund aims to reach audiences beyond the forestry community and foster thoughtful exchanges about how and why forests, and the services they provide, are essential to our future.
