Satellite Sites

To “walk the talk for sustainability” and minimize travel, we will enable and encourage people to participate via a combination of video conferencing, web meetings and other technologies. We are calling for satellite sites, or places where people can gather to engage in national events via video and web conference, as well as local discussions and networking. Contact Sheela Doshi at sdoshi@fs.fed.us if you are interested in setting up a satellite site in your location.

Check back soon for more details and registration information.
