Towards Resilient Woodlots: Risk Assessment and Mitigation - Workshop #1 – Mactaquac Provincial Park

By New Brunswick Federation of Woodlot Owners

Language: English

This workshop will equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to adapt your forest management practices to climate-related risks.

The day will begin with a presentation during which we will explore critical risks that can disrupt forest ecosystems in a changing climate. In the afternoon, we will take a walk in the park to conduct on-site case studies. We will assess various risks and discuss potential mitigation strategies.

Two foresters from the York-Sunbury-Charlotte Forest Products Marketing Board will be guiding us through the workshop:

• Anne MacKnight – Silviculture Manager, Registered Professional Forester
• Chris Higgins – Registered Professional Foreste

Whether you are a woodlot owner or simply want to learn more, you are welcome!
