About the Symposium

September 21-26, 2008
Ontario, Canada
 
Rediscover the routes of First Peoples, voyageurs, fur traders, and lumber barons, along one of Canada’s great historic waterways linking the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean.

Tour the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Forest Region from the rugged Canadian Shield to the fertile St. Lawrence River lowlands.  Visit Ottawa, the national capital.

See Canada’s oldest research forest.  Meet private forest owners, public forestland managers, industry foresters, and extension and knowledge transfer specialists.

Share knowledge, experience, and current practices with colleagues from around the world, while the forest around you turns red, gold, and yellow.

The Symposium will include indoor sessions featuring presented papers and posters, a one-day tour along the Ottawa River Valley, and stops in Mattawa, Petawawa, and Ottawa.
