About

The annual Carbon Friendly Forestry Conference brings together diverse thinkers – policy makers, academics, conservationists, tribal representatives and staff, forest owners, business leaders, and more – to learn about strategies and opportunities for sustainable forest management that can create a stronger economy and healthier communities in a changing climate.

Since time immemorial, Indigenous peoples have been the stewards and caretakers of the lands we live and work on. Learn and reflect on whose homelands you are attending from, here: https://native-land.ca/
