🌲 Forest Bioeconomy Symposium — From Fire Risk to Circular Stewardship Registration is now open!
📅 September 29–30, 2026 | Roughly 250 leaders — policymakers, tribal economic development leaders, investors, manufacturers, and university partners — are converging in the Redwood Region for two days of work that matters: building the market infrastructure and policy pathways for a thriving circular forest economy.

Day 1 — Field visits across Southern Humboldt, Arcata & Samoa, and the Hwy 299 Corridor
Day 2 — Opening remarks from Patrick Wright (Director, CA Wildfire and Forest Resilience Task Force), plus an international keynote from Prof. Dr. Raoul Klingner of Fraunhofer WKI, Germany — 80 years of turning "waste" wood into a global materials industry, and what it means for California's wildfire-resilient building codes.

This isn't a conference to sit and listen. It's a working gathering — bring your ideas, your networks, and your questions.
