This Conservation Impact Sounding Board remote session focuses on sharing information, building dialogue, fostering discussion, and collecting feedback. This event is structured in two parts:


  • Part 1 will be a short presentation to share Conservation Impact results in the form of a new Climate Smart Forestry (CSF) handbook by Maine TREE Foundation and Manomet. This work, supported by a 2021 SFI Conservation Grant, is focused on the Northeast United States but has implications for all certified organizations.


  • Part 2 will be an interactive session to inform the future strategic direction of SFI with breakout sessions to foster discussion and idea-sharing. This session will be facilitated by ORS Impact, who are theory of change consultants that SFI has employed to help guide us through our strategic direction planning. We hope you will take part to help shape our future and priorities for conservation collaboration.
