Our keynote, Mark Kuhlberg, from Laurentian University - Université Laurentienne, is a fantastic presenter and will talk about the misconceptions around forestry practices.

Grade 12 student, Aidan Holland, chooses forestry as a career path after watching our documentary #TreesYouthourFuture! "I was also fascinated by the variety of career paths forestry can take you. For many of my friends at school who are pursuing studies in business, engineering, and the arts, when they hear the word forestry, or forester, they think of lumberjacks and clear cutting, but in reality, this is not the whole picture. There is a significant amount of biology, eco...nomics, politics and cultural aspects involved in the research and processes behind forestry practices. It is a convergence of all these things. This is what drew me to forestry - just how diverse it is with respect to its connections with society. It’s also a profession where I can work, as well as conserve and manage the place that I love" Read full interview: https://tinyurl.com/y4ksbxnj #ItTakesAForest
