Your perspective matters — whoever you are
You don't need to be a foresight expert to contribute. If you work with land, forests, policy, communities or the environment in any capacity — or if you simply pay attention to the world and notice things that feel like they might matter — we want to hear from you.
A weak signal doesn't have to be certain, proven or mainstream. In fact, the most valuable signals are often the ones that feel uncertain, surprising or hard to pin down. If something is nagging at you, that's exactly the kind of thing we're looking for.
All signals are welcome. There are no wrong answers.
