eFRI KTTD Project: Scoping an Enhanced Growth and Yield Program Regional Workshops - FOLLOW UP
In the fall of 2018, four workshops were held in Timmins, Sault Ste. Marie, Thunder Bay, and Peterborough to solicit input on Ontario’s Growth and Yield needs to support sustainable forest management for the next 20 years and beyond. The workshops, that were delivered by Drs. Margaret Penner and Doug Pitt, were well attended and many issues were raised that will be incorporated in a final report (to be posted here upon completion later this year). Submitted presentations from the workshops are posted below and others will appear as they are provided.
