The Silva Forest Foundation believes in sharing the knowledge that we have acquired about ecosystem-based conservation planning. We have learned important pieces required to develop and implement EBCPs from indigenous Elders and other wise people, from communities, and from the scientific literature. One of the most dynamic ways we’ve found for sharing knowledge is through interactive, often field-based workshops that challenge the learner to participate fully—to learn by doing.

We designed custom workshops to meet the particular needs of a community.

You can learn more about the many workshops and presentations we have given or sponsored since 1994 .

Beginning in 1995 we built SFF’s school where we have offered numerous workshops over the years, and have made many friends.
