CUFC 2016 in Laval, Quebec

At the end of September, our President Peter Wynnyczuk attended the Canadian Urban Forest Conference in Laval, QC on behalf of the Ontario Urban Forest Council. At the CUFC 2016, he gave a presentation about the Canadian Urban Forest Network, the Ontario region, and priorities in the urban forestry industry. He also discussed follow-up activities from the CUFN/OUFC Workshop in 2015 and how to approach these issues in the future.

It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and to meet some enthusiastic and like-minded participants in the urban forestry field. We’re already looking forward to the next conference in Vancouver in 2018.

Check out some photos from the event!
