Diverse, resilient, thriving forests are critical today and for future generations. As Canadians face the growing threat of extreme weather events, high-intensity forest fires, and biodiversity loss, it’s more important than ever that experts from different fields get together to talk about how we can conserve, restore, and grow forests – and that is exactly what will happen at The Forest Conference on February 20 in Mississauga, Ontario.
“This is our first conference since Forests Ontario became Forests Canada this past November, and I’m really excited and proud of the expert speakers and moderators we are bringing together to help us better understand the issues facing our forests and what we can do to better restore, manage and conserve them,” Jess Kaknevicius, CEO, Forests Canada, says.
