Your monthly dose of IFSA news! |
March 2024 |
|
Dear IFSA Family,
As we bid farewell to March, a month dedicated to honoring our precious forests and championing the cause of zero waste, we find ourselves inspired by the collective efforts towards sustainability and environmental stewardship.
March not only marked the International Day of Forests but also celebrated Zero Waste Day, reminding us of the critical importance of preserving our natural resources and minimizing our ecological footprint. These observances serve as poignant reminders of the interconnectedness between humanity and the environment we inhabit.
Moreover, in conjunction with these global initiatives, we are proud to highlight the numerous workshops and opportunities facilitated by the amazing members and partners of IFSA. From the IFSA Spring Course to FOA and Forest Europe webinars, as well as some amazing delegation opportunities and member reports. Not to mention the publication of our much awaited annual report of 22/23. So lets dive in...
