Point of clarification- the camp starts at 8am on August 12th and so
you should make your travel arrangements to arrive at camp on the
11th. The 17th is the last full day of camp and so you should plan
on traveling home on the 18th. Sorry if this has caused you any
problems!

Corporate Campaigning Forest Action Camp
Sponsored by ForestEthics, Rainforest Action Network, and the Ruckus Society
August 11*- August 18* - Sonoma County, California
_______________________________________________
Join us for this gathering of students and activists from the
grassroots movement for forest protection. Whether it's your
University's purchasing policies, Staples� paper choices, Boise
Cascade's logging practices or Citigroup's investments, it's time to
hold corporations accountable for the destruction of the world's
endangered forests.
The Corporate Campaigning Forest Action Camp will include Ruckus Society
trainings on nonviolent direct action, banner making, and street
theater. The agenda also includes discussions on the state of our
forests worldwide-specifically in British Columbia and Chile;
presentations on the state of our southern forests; strategy
sessions and skills sharing on current corporate campaigns; and
organizing skill sessions on building coalitions, local organizing,
and working with the media.
The camp will be located in Oceansong in Sonoma County, near
Occidental, CA from August 12th through the 18th*. The site has free
camping available, and there are hotels in Occidental. Kids are
welcome and dogs are prohibited. We are offering a free shuttle from
San Francisco airport to the camp but you MUST notify us of your
arrival time!
The Corporate Campaigning Forest Action Camp is endorsed by the
forest markets campaign, including Dogwood Alliance, Rainforest
Relief, Free the Planet!, Student Environmental Action Coalition,
Student Alliance to Reform Corporations, National Forest Protection
Alliance, American Lands Alliance, and many many others.
