This regional event brings together leaders from the timber industry, local government, conservation organizations, community groups, and land management agencies from across Idaho, Montana and eastern Washington. IFRP and MFCN have structured this workshop to share accomplishments and refine methods to achieve a collaborative vision for the future of our public forests.

Travel Assistance: A successful workshop, similar to an effective collaboration, depends on broad representation from diverse interests. IFRP and MFCN recognize that travel costs can limit attendance. Our objective is to encourage participation by offering to offset travel costs. If travel costs prevent your participation, please review the information in the Travel Assistance heading listed below, and submit an application for assistance.

Student Assistance: Students currently enrolled in a college or university studying natural resource management or public policy may apply for registration assistance. Approved applicants will pay a reduced registration fee of $60.
