Nobody Gets Left in the Woods: A Safety Network for Forest Workers

  • Friday, April 17, 2026, 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Forest work can be intense with rough terrain, weather, and no cell service. Are you prepared? What’s in your vest? Hear from a panel of professional foresters about the necessities we often overlook when entering the forest for a day’s work. We’ll begin in the classroom with refreshments and a presentation. Afterwards, we’ll walk in the Lennox Model Forest to discuss further awareness for woodland work.

Learn about the new initiative “Nobody Gets Left in the Woods”, a network of foresters working towards awareness of the challenges being forest workers, maintaining a safe workday, and positive mental health. Too often, we mourn the loss of forest workers. Let’s come together as an industry and make sure everyone makes it out of the woods.

SAF credits are available.
