Calling all potential
SAF advertising executives!
Each year the Communications Committee
develops a newspaper advertisement that gets the Wisconsin Society
of American Foresters name out to the public. We buy space in the
Wausau Daily Herald forestry supplement. Our budget allows us to
buy space in the one paper, but we could advertise in more areas
if funds are available.
View advertisements for
the last four years. What you can come up with for this
year? All ideas will be considered and appreciated. Email
them to Jim
Kerkman. This is your society. How would you introduce SAF to
the public?

The Wisconsin SAF Student
Mentor Program is designed to encourage university forestry
students to become SAF members and to become better acquainted
with professional foresters active in SAF. The Wisconsin SAF
Mentor program began January 1, 1992 and is conducted on an annual
basis. More information is available (Word
Doc 37KB).

The Wisconsin SAF Forester's
Fund Grant:
Do you have an idea for a project that would:
-
Promote
education to enhance public understanding of the role of
professional foresters?
-
Assist
in forest policy activities?
-
Strengthen
the State society or local Chapter in achieving the mission of
SAF?
If so, funding
through the Foresters’ Fund may be available to assist in your
efforts. Regular and special grants from $500 to $5,000 may be
available. Find out more (Word Doc
