Oregon SAF is excited to announce that our new OSAF webstore is now live for the purchase of OSAF hats:   https://saforegon.aiacompanystore.com/index.jsf

We are doing a “pre-order” process until November 25^th, and plan to ship out the pre-ordered hats in early December.  The cost of the hat is $17, but there is a shipping and handling charge for each order. 

Thank you all the participants for completing the 2nd Annual SAFsquatch Scurry 5/10K Trail Run!   You conquered the rain showers, muddy trail conditions, and even had a sighting of the SAFSquatch!   For the final results please check the Scovel Racing website.   

Shout out to OSU Research Forests/OSU College of Forestry SAF Chapter for hosting, 4 Spirits Distillery and the Old Spaghetti Factory in Corvallis for the coupons, financial support from Weyerhaeuser, and all our fantastic Oregon Society of American Foresters members for volunteering!   

2019 WFI International Fellowship Program – Forestry Lightning Talks

Sept. 12 at 5:30 – 7:30 pm

Cheatham Hall, World Forestry Center

Meet eight Fellows from around the world who came to Oregon to see how we meet global forestry challenges. They hope to take what they’ve learned here to improve their communities back home. Fellows will be sharing their project findings and how they are planning to implement change using their new knowledge. What we do in Oregon is inspiring people to impact their own corner of the planet.

On July 19th, a group of 64 foresters came out of the forest and spent the day on the Trysting Tree golf course for the 13th Annual OSAF Golf Tournament.  It was a fantastic day to support the OSAF Foundation and there were even rumors of some good golf shots!  A big thank you to our gold sponsor Starker Forests as well as all the other sponsors to make the event a success!
