Forests Ontario Annual Conference: Natural Connections
February 8th, 2019
Our forests are deeply rooted in our daily lives, our histories and our cultures. Our well-being—past, present and future—is intrinsically intertwined with this vital resource. However, our forests are increasingly impacted by ever-changing factors; societal, economic and environmental. Understanding our connection to our forests, and how our forests define our relationships with one another, is critical to the continued sustainable management of this incredible resource.
Join us as we explore these relationships and ensure healthy forests and communities for our future.
