More than 450 people joined us at the 2024 SFI Annual Conference. Together, we learned from leading voices in the forest and conservation sector, we engaged the next generation of forest leaders, and we charted a sustainable path forward by exploring innovative solutions to conserve, sustainably manage, and restore “Forests for the Future.” A delegation of 50 students and young professionals were sponsored to participate in the conference. …SFI launched its new SFI 2025-2030 Strategic Direction. It is guided by an approach that articulates the change we want to be part of, welcomes others to join us, and provides a basis for measurement and learning as we move forward. …We heard about the critical role of certified forests and products in a world that increasingly demands supply chain transparency and assurances that forest products are not contributing to deforestation and forest degradation. …A panel discussion explored the exciting opportunity for mass timber to improve our climate and communities.
