Event summary:

The Northern Forest Center and convening partners from across Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York will host the second Summit for the Northern Forest.

Like the first Summit in November 2008, the event will convene public, private and non-profit practitioners from across the region to advance and expand specific, collaborative initiatives to implement the recommendations of the Northern Forest Sustainable Economy Initiative.

 A unique and dynamic aspect of the Summit is the simultaneous gathering of multiple working groups focused on different elements of the Sustainable Economy Initiative strategy, such as tourism development, ecosystem services, higher education, community forests, public policy, and others. The event will provide each group with focused time on their respective topics as well as the chance to meet and learn from colleagues working on other important issues in the region.
