Fall 2026 Membership Regional Meet-Ups

We are hosting several regional membership meet-ups around the state, hoping to leverage other forestry and logging events for interest and convenience, beginning with two this fall.

September 10, 2026 (Revised Date (this was previously scheduled for September 2)

Meet-Up at The Wild Center in Tupper Lake

ESFPA is excited to announce a (shh, it’s still secret) project in which we are involved and celebrating on September 10, 2026 with our kick-off fall regional meet-up. The Wild Center is hosting this summer and fall the renown traveling exhibit, “Trolls Save the Humans,” by Danish artist Thomas Damno. There is a rumor one newly-created troll might linger behind as a permeant exhibit, with donations of material from our own Empire State forest products industry.  Join us in this exciting day!

Meet-Up Itinerary:

• 11:00 am Meet-and-Greet with famed Danish artist Thomas Dambo, creator of large-scale, often in the woods, wood-based troll sculptures at the Wild Center (come early to explore his traveling exhibit)
• Noon – Thomas Dambo Press Conference
• 2:00 p.m. Tour of the Northern Forest Center’s Mass Timber Housing Project in Tupper Lake. 
• Lite Fare following at Raquette River Brewing Company

Note: ESFPA will pay for the entrance fees of Member attendees and a Plus + for those who register in advance. Please complete the registration link if you plan to attend:
