Forestry and the forest related workforce have historically lacked diversity. Recognizing that people with diverse experiences and ideas lead to innovation that can benefit the people and forests of Wisconsin, we seek to inspire a more diverse workforce by offering opportunities for students to learn in and about the forests and forest products of Wisconsin. Underrepresented populations can mean, but are not limited to, people of diverse color, culture, gender, age, and economic status. – Questions?
