The Western Region COFE meeting will be held on Thursday, January 9 in Lebanon, OR at the Boulder Falls Inn Event Center.
**PLEASE NOTE – January 9th is now considered a national day of mourning to honor former President Jimmy Carter. We are currently working on adapting the event to accommodate this change.
WR COFE is a regional chapter of the Council on Forest Engineering (COFE) for the western United States and British Columbia. COFE is an international professional organization formed to foster the development of forest engineering in industry, government, and education in order to promote the best methods of managing and operating forests, both private and public. COFE serves the forestry profession by disseminating technical information about forest engineering. For more information about the event, see the full agenda below.
