Shaping the future of forestry workforce development!

🌲 Last week at the 2026 NC CTE Summer Conference, NCFA’s Jessica Ireland and Abigail Ridge teamed up with @ncstateextension Forestry's Renee Strnad and @canforcorp Southern Pine’s Mike Harris and Alec Kearns to host an immersive educator workshop. Six FFA educators earned their certifications for the AN53 Natural Resources II-Forestry course after a fantastic day of hands-on timber cruising and tree identification in the woods. Congratulations to our new cohort, and thank you for inspiring the next generation of industry professionals! @forestryworks #NCForestry
