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.
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 😊!

A Unique Opportunity. A Rare Value.
|
|
It's not often that we have the chance to participate with world experts in forestry from the convenience of our
computers - and at a fraction of the usual conference costs.
Keeping the Conference fees minimal (on a cost-recovery basis) is only possible thanks to the targeted support from our
hosts
and sponsors.
To avoid unnecessary transactions and administrative fees, there will be no cancellation policy for this Conference.
