World Forestry Center

The World Forestry Center will implement “Our Forest, Our Future,” a new initiative to develop interpretive experiences that center on community needs and catalyze social change around forest issues. The center will reimagine its paid fellowship program to engage a more diverse set of professionals to inform the development of visitor experiences. It will collaborate with the fellows and a consultant to prototype, develop content, and design an inaugural exhibition and accompanying public programs that will interpret the causes and effects of catastrophic wildfires and the actions needed to reduce them. Through this project, the center will cultivate civic discourse and action among diverse stakeholders and audiences, with a focus on the communities most vulnerable to the impacts of wildfires.
