The Conference will share the latest scientific research and initiatives from the Kootenays and from the international arena on climate change, wildfire behavior and why this leads us toward a need to take action at a landscape scale for a more resilient ecosystem.

Target Audience: forest licensees (small woodlots to large companies), local government, emergency services, and community members. We are expecting approximately 250 attendees.

The two-day conference will be followed by one day of workshops for the forest licensees and a separate workshop for community members in order to identify barriers and opportunities to engage in wildfire risk mitigation and carbon effective forest management. 

Early bird registration ends May 18th
