Youth4Nature is excited to share that we are members of the Steering Committee for the 9th American Forest Congress, coming up on July 15-18, 2025, in Washington, DC, USA.
The American Forest Congress is a proud tradition that has influenced the direction of forest conservation and management in America for more than a century. This year, the 9th American Forest Congress will build on this legacy, providing forestry professionals and leaders an opportunity to gather with over 500 of their peers for three days to collaborate and identify transformative actions for the next century of forest stewardship.
Y4N Global Ambassadors Jennifer Hong and Vinamra Mathur are representing Y4N values and championing youth engagement, on the Congress steering committee, alongside government, Indigenous, academic, and other social actor partners.
