Publications

Forest Wisdom is the Guild's quarterly journal that covers emerging issues in forestry, policy developments, and members' work across the country.

Research Publications include syntheses of existing literature to answer policy questions. The Guild also conducts novel studies that advance the practice of excellent forestry. See our Research Program page for more information.

Across the Landscape is the Guild's bimonthly electronic newsletter that features shorter updates on Guild activities and events.

The Guild also adopts policy statements and position statements on pertinent forestry topics through votes of its members and the Membership and Policy Council.
