Placing BC in a Global Forest Management Context – How Do We Measure Up?
Plenary Sessions
The 2015 winter workshop opening theme explored the way that BC functions in a global forestry context, from our forest management strategy for multiple resources and public expectations, to our wood products innovation and marketing strategies.
Key Forest Management Issues of the Day – How Do We Measure Up?
Panel Sessions
The panel discussions look at pieces of the puzzle of this global context – specific key forest management issues of the day that, though always evolving, remain ongoing critical challenges. The panel of experts will provide information and perspectives on the issues, describe the current state of affairs, and propose to what extent these issues have been resolved or what progress is being made to address them. After the experts’ presentations there will be questions from the floor, to allow you to engage in in-depth discussion with the panelists and your colleagues.
