Summer 2018 ForestLife
A fabulous Forest Fete!
A celebration of forest giants
On April 27, Pacific Forest Trust held our 2018 Forest Fete at the Julia Morgan Ballroom in San Francisco, and we had a fabulous time with a sell-out crowd, celebrating forests with old and new friends and colleagues alike.
Andrea Tuttle, PhD, our Board Chair from 2012 to 2017, received the Sequoia Award for her many accomplishments in forest and climate policy. We awarded Mountcrest Working Forest, represented at the event by two of its family owners, Jud Parsons and Hugh Brady, for their exemplary forest management and for permanently conserving their more than 2,000 acres. Author and journalist Richard Louv gave a deeply inspiring and resonant keynote on the value of experiencing nature. We finished off the evening with our first live auction, a fun and successful event. We are deeply grateful to all of our donors, sponsors, and partners who made this event a blast!
