Forest Stewards Guild

This club is currently inactive, contact Brooke Harrington for more information.

The Forest Stewards Guild is a national organization that focuses on "ecological forestry": responsible forestry management to promote ecological, economic, and social health. As the OSU Student Chapter, we strive to maintain their principles and further their mission. We partner with the PNW Region for field trips, guest speakers, and exciting events. Please check out the "Forest Stewards Guild Mission and Principles" tab, and the "Club Events" tab below for more information.

Although we're called the "Forest Stewards Guild", we are open to all majors and interests at OSU! We are not exclusive to forestry topics, and our events include field trips and guest speakers related to all kinds of natural resources, including fish and wildlife, ecological restoration, forest ecosystems, and the ever-important human dimension. In addition to field trips, we have regularly scheduled meetings throughout the term. We hope to see you there!

Membership information

Participation in the OSU Student Chapter of the Forest Stewards Guild is open to every OSU student, but full membership requires a formal Forest Stewards Guild Student Membership.

In addition, members must be in good academic standing and should attend at least half of the club activities/meetings per term. There are usually four meetings and four events per term, so attendance at two meetings and two events, or three events and one meeting, etc, per term counts towards this requirement. Membership and active participation allows for democratic club processes, which is what we hope to create!
