The sixth annual Making Energy Work Fall Symposium
Sustainable Northwest, along with our partners Wallowa Resources, Energy Trust of Oregon, Wy’East RC&D, and Heartwood Biomass hosted the 6th annual Fall Energy Symposium September 13th-15th, 2021.
This year we reconvened in-person and basing operations out of spectacular Wallowa County.
This quiet and scenic corner of Oregon is home to a host of community energy innovations. From harnessing community hydro and launching a renowned wood energy campus to embarking on creative solar development, this county has become an incubator for innovation and inspiration.
We crafted a unique agenda that included hands-on tours, presentations from regional experts, and plenty of networking opportunities to connect guests with other drivers in the clean energy sector.
