FOOD FOR ALL NB invites you to get LOUD ABOUT FOOD during a two-day virtual event
Loud About Food is a landing place to reflect on the food security response to COVID-19 over the past 19 months, reconnect with our peers and each other, learn from individual and shared experiences, and consider what happens next.
We are currently planning a 2-day conference in Fredericton, NB for woodlot owners, foresters, academics and all persons interested in the impacts of climate change on our forests and what we can do now to adapt for the future.

“New Brunswick’s Newest Avian Immigrant: The Wild Turkey”
Presenter: Jim Wilson
Never in our history has a new bird discovered our province on foot – until now. Slowly and quietly during the past two decades, hundreds of Wild Turkeys eluded border officials and slipped into New Brunswick from Maine, where a vibrant population of the birds is firmly established in all 16 counties. But how does a bird of this size, a species that was never here historically, cope with finding food in deep winter snow and cold, compete with native bird species and evade potential new predators? Well, Wild Turkeys are doing just that, and quite successfully. Our Wild Turkeys now number in the thousands. This talk will explain how they do it.

With Parks Canada and the Canadian Parks Council and guidance from Indigenous elders and colleagues, the Canadian Parks Collective for Innovation and Leadership is excited to host the second pan-Canadian Parks and Protected Areas Research eSummit from February 22 to 25, 2022 along with a complementary year-long webinar and dialogue series.
“Monitoring Caribou Habitat in Canada’s Changing North”
Presenter: Ryan Danby
Many of Canada’s large northern caribou herds have declined over the last two decades. While the herds are known to fluctuate naturally, the magnitude of their recent declines is well outside of historical observations. Climate-related changes in habitat condition may be partly responsible, and this presentation will explore the use of modern satellite mapping technologies for examining this.
Presenter: Dr. Ryan Danby is an associate professor of Geography and Environmental Studies at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. He has been conducting research in Northern Canada and Alaska for the last 25 years with the aim of better understanding the causes and consequences of ecosystem change and their implications for conservation.
Given that Caribou once roamed in areas north of New Brunswick, this presentation is of interest to us all.
