ELTI's Tropical Forest Landscape Restoration Reception

The Yale Environmental Leadership & Training Initiative (ELTI) and the Yale Chapter of the International Society for Tropical Foresters (ISTF) are excited to co-host this special event made possible by generous support from the Yale and the World Partnership Fund and the Yale Forest Forum.

An evening of connection and celebration, this reception is an opportunity to engage in-person with ELTI staff, alumni, and friends, a delegation of Rwandan scientists and practitioners, and the ISTF organizing committee and special guests.

This event follows the Native Species Reforestation Symposium (link), hosted by ELTI and featuring scientists and practitioners focused on native species reforestation in Rwanda, where ELTI launched a field training program.

This event also welcomes speakers and special guests of the Tropical Forest Leadership Summit (link), ISTF’s 32nd annual conference at Yale, ahead of the conference’s kickoff.
