The forestry community gathered for the annual Virginia Forestry Summit in April where participants learned more about "Making Your Forest Work for You." The weekend included presentations from experts in forest industry, field trips to scenic sites, and information on land management practices. Above, participants learn about planting warm season grasses for wildlife management on the George Washington National Forest.
See more from the weekend here.

We are grateful to our many Exhibitors and Sponsors whose support helped make this year's event a success.
