2026 Appalachian Forest Discovery Summit

The annual AFNHA Discovery Summit is an opportunity for supporters of Appalachian forests to gather and discuss their work in our region.
About this Event

The Appalachian Forest Discovery Summit is an annual event that brings together stakeholders and AFNHA supporters who share an interest in the unique natural and cultural resources centered on the highland forests of WV and western Maryland that make our region significant. Our goal is to foster collaboration, share best practices, and inspire new ideas for the continued support and growth of our region.

Join us at the new Elkins Railyard Event Center in the historic Elkins Railyard for discussions on forest heritage and presentations from our partners on their exciting work in our region on September 17th, and enjoy tours of significant locations in Randolph County on September 18th.
