This webinar is open to the public
The Old-Growth Society is a community of Old-Growth Forest Network supporters whose leadership support helps sustain and expand the Network each year.
Membership is extended to supporters who contribute qualifying annual gifts of $1,000 or more, as well as to members of The Legacy Grove who have chosen to include the Old-Growth Forest Network in their estate plans.
Members receive meaningful recognition, insider updates from OGFN leadership, and invitations to special guided experiences in old-growth forests.
OGFN is a small, agile national organization supported by regional leadership and local volunteers. Old-Growth Society members play a vital role in advancing our vision of a connected, publicly accessible network of protected old-growth forests across the country.
