56th Annual Midwestern Foresters Conclave - October 5th - 7th 2007

The Iowa State University Forestry Club and the Iowa State University Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management hosted the 56th Annual Midwestern Foresters Conclave at the Iowa 4-H Center in Madrid, Iowa.

Conclave is a Midwest tradition, rotating between collegiate Forestry Clubs in the region. Iowa State University was proud to continue that tradition this year. We hosted students from six different Universities participating in this event. The Midwestern Foresters Conclave was not only a great time to compete in traditional timber sports, but it is also a great time for students, alumni, and industry partners to meet, enjoy the events, and network with students in Forestry.

For a description of the 54th Annual Midwestern Foresters Conclave please read the Ames Forester Article here.
