The Western Forest Genetics Association (WFGA) comprises professionals, researchers, and students involved in forest genetics issues in the western US and Canada. It was founded in 1955 and currently holds biennial meetings that are rotated throughout the region, often held jointly with other organizations.
WFGA has a long history of sponsoring students to attend their meetings, and at each meeting we present the William B. Critchfield award to the best student presentation and poster. Tax-free donations can be sent to the OSU Foundation, with a request that they be placed in the William B. Critchfield trust fund.
The next Western Forest Genetics Association (WFGA) meeting is scheduled for the summer of 2025. Please check back here for more details closer to the date.
