2026 PNW Forest Vegetation Management Conference

The 10th Annual Pacific Northwest Forest Vegetation Management Conference is an annual event modeled on the successful Forest Vegetation Management Conference held each winter in Northern California. Designed by WFCA with support from Oregon Forest Resources Institute (OFRI), this conference meets the educational needs of foresters, landowners, and applicators in the Pacific Northwest. It provides an ongoing and reliable source of continuing education on the safe and effective use of chemicals for the management of PNW forests. The conference aims to help professional forest managers stay current on protecting the public and the environment from adverse effects while maintaining the availability of forest chemicals for beneficial uses. Each year includes presentations and panel discussions by practicing foresters, applicators, academics, and chemical company representatives. Interaction with exhibitors and vendors is also a significant part of this conference. Attendees can connect, learn best management practices, and earn pesticide recertification credits for Washington, Oregon, and Idaho applicators.
