The Western Forest Economists (WFE) is a non-profit group that welcomes membership from any interested party. For more than 50 years, WFE has provided opportunities to gather with fellow forest economists and discuss current research, issues, and trends. The WFE informal meeting format encourages discussion and interchange, while fostering a unique professional community.

Each year, the WFE Board will annually select an established conference with connections to forest economics and host a “WFE Day” in conjunction with those dates. Whether we meet before, during, or after the conference, the WFE Day will present opportunities to connect with other forest economists and foster lively engagement in the wide ranging topics of our field.
