    “I donated to this meeting because I believe this is an underappreciated field for women. The timber business is a predominately male business. This meeting is about building a bond between women that understand the struggles in this field and getting the support and resources that they need from each other!”

  • Christy Weiss, Area Manager, GreenWood Resources

    “I donated to this meeting as I strongly believe the advancement of women in forestry starts with women supporting each other!”

  • Pam Johnson, Office Manager, Bellwether Forest Products

    “I think many women like me want to be informed, educated, and recognized for our contribution to the industry. Women play a huge role in the back office of the business. Whether we are new to the business or old to the business, we can all and should learn something if not every day as often as we can! It helps not only to be beneficial to our individual companies, but to the industry as a whole. We cannot move forward standing still!”
