Celebrating our 25th Anniversary

April 27, 2018, 6:00 pm
Julia Morgan Ballroom, 465 California St, San Francisco

Forest Fete is the premier social event for the forest community in the West. We join with over 200 leaders in forestry, academia, climate action, sustainability, and environmental advocacy for a celebration of our work together to protect forests for all of their benefits.

At this year’s Forest Fete, we will mark our first 25 years with lively conversation, superb dinner and refreshments, and (for the first time ever) an exciting live auction featuring one-of-a-kind experiences donated by our generous sponsors!

Jud Parsons
Mountcrest Working Forest
Forest Champion Award Honoree

Owned by the Parsons family for nearly 100 years, Mountcrest Forest is a beacon of exemplary forest management. Along with his family, Jud Parsons has been a leader in stewardship and conservation of Oregon’s farms and forests. An early champion of 1000 Friends of Oregon, Jud was among the first to conserve many of the family’s agricultural lands, culminating in the conservation of their 2,036-acre Mountcrest Forest on the Siskiyou Crest. Its conservation serves as a legacy of the family’s decades of stewardship, a haven for wildlife, and a model for other working forests across Oregon.
