By: Women’s Forest Congress Steering Committee
As we turn the page on another year, many of us are setting intentions for how we want to grow, whether individually, professionally, and as a community. In forestry, natural resources, conservation, and forest-adjacent industries, the work is demanding and deeply meaningful. It deserves resolutions that reflect both our aspirations and our responsibilities.
This year, we invite our community to look toward the Women’s Forest Congress (WFC) Resolutions as a source of inspiration for your own individual goal-setting. The WFC Resolutions outline an ambitious vision for the forest sector—one where equity, leadership, collaboration, and community strength shape a more resilient future. These goals are large by design. They reflect the systems-level change our sector needs.
But big shifts are built on many individual steps. Each of us plays a role in bringing the resolutions to life through the choices we make every day: how we show up, how we support others, how we invest in ourselves, and how we contribute to our teams and communities.
Finding Your Personal Resolution in the WFC Resolutions
As you look ahead to what your 2026 will become, we invite you to consider which part of the WFC Resolutions resonates most with you right now and to identify one achievable action you can take to embody that commitment. Below is a pathway to help you find your focus. You can click on the images to enlarge them and explore how you can bring the resolutions in to your day to day life.
Choose What Resonates—and Get Started, Even Small.
The WFC Resolutions remind us that change at scale is possible when many individuals take purposeful, aligned steps. You do not need to do everything. You do not need to do it perfectly. You simply need to begin.
Choose the theme that speaks to you, select one achievable action, and carry it forward into the new year. Together, we can move closer to realizing the full promise of the WFC Resolutions.
We’d love to hear from you!
Head over to our social channels on LinkedIn and share your 2026 resolution with the WFC community. Your actions, however small, help inspire others. And together we amplify impact.
