Theme: The Future of Forestry – Building Resilience in Uncertain Times

March 21, 2026

8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Registration is now open for the Duke Society of American Foresters (SAF) 16th Annual Spring Symposium!

The Duke Society of American Foresters (SAF) Annual Spring Symposium is a student-led, full-day professional conference that brings together forestry professionals, landowners, industry leaders, faculty, and students around a theme selected each year by SAF students.

The 2026 theme, The Future of Forestry: Building Resilience in Uncertain Times, explores how the forestry sector is responding to market uncertainty, tariff shifts, and ecological pressures. The day is designed to move from historical context to present-day challenges and conclude with forward-looking insights that help guide the next generation of foresters, natural resources management, and conservation professionals.

We invite all students, professors, and professionals alike to join us for a day of engaging speakers, thoughtful discussion, and networking opportunities. A full list of presentations & the agenda can be found here, on the registration page.

Please register for the symposium here, or by using the QR code on the flyer below. Registration is required to attend the event.

Please reach out to our Symposium Chair, Annabel Weyrich (annabel.weyrich@duke.edu), with any questions. We hope to see you there!
