ForestEDWest™ Conference 2008: Embracing our Landscape
The conference bought together representatives from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Territories responsible for, or supporters of, quality education about the forested landscape. Conference delegates came together for three days of discussion, learning, networking and strategizing to develop common goals for the future of forest education in Western Canada.
Presenters were scheduled at one of four 75-minute concurrent sessions running January 25th and 26th. Presentations were either 15, 30 or 45 minutes in duration. Conference organizers paired presenters dealing with common themes for each concurrent session. The goal of the conference will be to:
• Highlight emerging forest landscape issues;
• Showcase best practices in forest education; and
• Identify opportunities to improve the quality of forest education experiences in Western Canada.
Conference attendees will include representatives from industry, government, the Aboriginal community, post-secondary institutions, as well as educational resource providers and teachers.
