Conservation Council lunch and learn: Forests and ecologically-based forestry in NB
Join us on your lunch break with the Conservation Council of New Brunswick’s Forest and Freshwater Director Marieka Chaplin as we learn more about New Brunswick’s current forest management practices and how we can advocate for more sustainable forestry.
We’ll hear from forest management experts who are at the frontlines of sustainable management research and answer your pressing questions concerning our forests.
The more New Brunswickers know, the better we can support our forests to become more resilient to the impacts of wildfire, flood, pests, and disease.
