ABOUT
US...
We are a student
chapter of the Society of American Foresters, affiliated
with the College of Forestry at Oregon State University.
Our goal is to stay connected with the greater organization
of the Society of American Foresters, as well as to maintain
an on-campus core of developing forestry professionals.
We always welcome newcomers and old friends to our meetings
and special events. You do not have to be a student member
of SAF to attend meetings or take part in most events,
however, we strongly encourage new club members to become
student members of the society. There is a lot going on
with SAF at OSU these days, so take a few minutes to explore
our website, and we hope to see you at our next meeting.
