Appalachian Forest Discovery Summit
September 17-18, 2026 | Elkins, West Virginia
The Appalachian Forest Discovery Summit is an annual event that brings together stakeholders who share an interest in the unique natural and cultural resources centered on the highland forests of WV and western Maryland that make our region significant. Our goal is to foster collaboration, share best practices, and inspire new ideas for the continued support and growth of our region.
Join us for discussions on forest heritage and presentations from our partners on their exciting work in our region on September 17th, and enjoy tours of significant locations in Randolph County on September 18th.
