Calling on all place hunters!
We are collecting ideas about places to visit – online, if we can’t travel, or for later, when the times are more opportune.
Do send us the name and coordinates of your favourite forest or a remarkable ecosystem – could be any place on our planet Earth, big or small. It may be recreational, wildlife rich, a unique and sensitive ecosystem, a biodiverse or culturally significant location, and so on. For example, we challenge you to go bear-spotting, in particular, find the Spirit Bear (Ursus americanus kermodei) who might or might not be here<https://trk.cp20.com/click/gcbo-2f88by-axwyo2-habgtnd6/>.
We’ll post our CFC collection of your favourite places during the Conference. Who knows, you may be in for a place-hunt if you jump aboard the 20thCommonwealth Forestry Express 😊!
