Last year was the inaugural offering of this course and this May, we're excited to return to increase the forest's carbon uptake.

Delivered by academic and industry experts, this course offers a blend of classroom instruction with hands-on experiential learning onsite, promising a deep dive into nature-based solutions to combat climate change.
