The Farm Bill and Rural Community Based Forestry:
A Training to Maximize Opportunities 

The National Community-Based Forestry Week in Washington is a workshop 
designed to build capacity among forest practitioners to effectively 
participate in the national policy dialogue. Participants will receive 
training on how national policy is developed and will learn how to 
translate their concerns and issues into effective policy messages. They 
will present these messages at meetings and briefings with key 
representatives from federal agencies and Congressional committees and 
begin to establish relationships for long term success in national policy. 
This year’s workshop will focus specifically on private lands issues and 
will look at a major legislative opportunity, the Farm Bill, to explore 
and develop ideas for how community-based forestry practitioners across 
the country can engage and network in discussions about this issue.

 "This training was invaluable to me and my community. I learned 
how important federal policy is to our forestry efforts and started 
makinglife-long connections to the people that can 
get things done in D.C."
