The meeting will focus on “Climate-induced range shifts in boreal pest distribution and their ecological, economic and social consequences”, a topic of concern across the circumboreal forest domain. The meeting will include field visits to insect-affected forests, as well as forest operations designed to recover affected trees. It will also feature prominent keynote speakers and venues located in close proximity to the majestic St-Laurence River. The meeting organisation is being led by Louis De Grandpré, of the Canadian Forest Service, and co-sponsored by the International Boreal Forest Research Association (WWW.IBFRA.ORG).
