Peer to Peer Networking
These
sessions offer the unique opportunity to network with and learn from
your peers. Hear about what works, through successs stories
in urban
and community forestry. Sessions will offer ample time to collaborate
over meals, receptions, and informal down-time.
Beyond the Forum
What better location than California, and how better to enjoy it than
with a long weekend? Both sessions are scheduled to end early on
Saturday so you have time to
explore the surrounding area and taste what
California has to offer, including wine country, beaches and
boardwalks, cultural attractions, and city nightlife.
From a drive along the beautiful coast to weekend getaways,
California offers both urban and natural beauty not to be missed.
