NextGen Forestry: See Where Wood Can Take You
What does a career in Virginia’s forest products industry actually look like? Come find out.
NextGen Forestry gets high school students out of the classroom and into the action. Tour a mill. Meet the people turning Virginia’s trees into products we use every day. Discover careers you might never have known existed.
Our signature NextGen event takes place at EXPO Richmond, where students can explore the show alongside forest products professionals and educators. We’re taking that same spirit on the road in 2027 with regional tours and events hosted by local forest products businesses.
The connections don’t end when the tour does. NextGen keeps students in the loop about industry events and opportunities to explore what comes next.
If you are interested in participating, please contact Lesley Moseley at nextgenforestry@vfpa.net.
