AB - The National Silviculture Workshop (NSW) is a biennial forum on silvicultural advances hosted by the USDA Forest Service. In July of 2022, this gathering brought over one hundred seventy silvicultural workers from all parts of the agency, plus some from academia and industry, to Kellogg, Idaho. Against the spectacular backdrop of the northern Rocky Mountains, NSW participants learned about the various challenges and opportunities faced by Forest Service silviculturists and silvicultural researchers, especially on reforestation and early stand improvement challenges on Forest Service lands. Over three days, oral and poster presentations were given on topics ranging from new legislation and agency policies to decision support tools to forest health threats to regeneration and nursery problems. Additionally, a day-long field tour and hours of less formal conversations and networking helped to continue the tradition of knowledge transfer and collegiality long experienced at the NSW.Study Implications: The 2022 National Silviculture Workshop (NSW) continued a long tradition of bringing together USDA Forest Service silvicultural practitioners and researchers in a forum that helps bridge research with practice and policy. The presentations, field trip, small group meetings, and plenty of networking continued to strengthen the silvicultural work of the Forest Service, laying the groundwork for the next NSW in Olympia, Washington, in July of 2024.
