The BCCK successfully hosted its first instalment of the Forum series on the topic of Agile HR. HR experts from various industries such as Linkedin, Google and PwC shared their expertise and perspectives on how different elements of Agile HR could be implemented in a Korean environment. Between the sessions, nearly 100 HR professionals from Korean and multinational companies engaged each other by sharing their experiences and creating valuable networking opportunities. The BCCK plans to organise similar forums on a regular basis going forward on themes that are relevant to our member companies and more broadly to the Korean market.

The Forest Service’s Pacific Northwest Region hosted a public field tour at the Wind River Experimental Forest, located within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington state. This tour highlighted old-growth trees, the unique characteristics of old-growth forests, and information about the Forest Service’s National Old Growth Amendment.
The Wind River Experimental Forest's old-growth stands, primarily composed of Douglas-fir and western hemlock, are living testaments to the ancient and intricate ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest. Some trees here have stood for over 400 years, surrounded by a diverse understory of shrubs like salal and huckleberries, and ground plants such as trillium and beargrass. These forests are vital sanctuaries for wildlife, including the federally threatened Northern spotted owl.
Since the early 1900s, these venerable woods have been pivotal in forest ecology research, guiding sustainable management practices. With over 80% of the region's remaining old growth on federal land, policies like the 1994 Northwest Forest Plan, its upcoming amendment, and the Forest Service’s National Old Growth Amendment underscore the importance of protecting these irreplaceable habitats.
