Canadian Institute of Forests E-Lecture Series
Climate change, global competition in forest products, and biodiversity conservation and society’s expectations are just a few of the many issues creating new challenges for Canada’s forest sector. These issues and others are continuing to demand new insights, options and solutions. A series of Sustainable Forest Management Network projects assess the current state-of-knowledge on some of the critical issues facing forest managers, and provide guidance on changes to SFM practice and policy.
The SFM Network, together with the Canadian Institute of Forestry, is pleased to co-sponsor an e-lecture series on these projects.
Schedule: The E-lecture series is now complete, please vist the Canadian Institute of Forestry website for access to recorded lectures.
