The Council of Western State Foresters (CWSF) Forest Products Committee (FPC) is seeking a company and/or contractor interested in planning and executing a Ponderosa Pine Symposium (Symposium) in November 2025 and crafting a report to follow the Symposium.
The Symposium's purpose is to examine the status of the ponderosa pine industry in the West by exchanging the latest research and information on emerging technologies, addressing current and future challenges, sharing success stories and lessons learned, and exploring resources to support the ponderosa pine sector’s long-term marketability and management. A final report following the Symposium will capture a synopsis of the event and include recommendations for action that the CWSF FPC and/or other attendees can take to improve ponderosa pine markets in the West.
This request for proposal (RFP) is meant for entities skilled in meeting planning, agenda development, facilitation, speaker preparation, and report writing.
Proposals should be submitted no later than 4:00 p.m. MDT on April 18, 2025 to info@westernforesters.org with “Ponderosa Pine Symposium RFP” in the subject line. Late responses will not be considered.
