Local Resource Managers Attend Knowledge Transfer Session in Granisle.

July 15, 2002

Some 70 natural resource managers attended a knowledge transfer session organized by the Morice & Lakes IFPA in Granisle on June 20th.

The purpose of the session was to relay project information to natural resource managers and interested individuals in the region. Representatives from forest companies, government ministries and consulting groups attended the full-day session.

“Part of the mandate of the Morice & Lakes IFPA is to extend knowledge gained from our projects to all interested parties,” said IFPA manager Jim Burbee. “We were pleased to see this interest in the work we have completed so far.”

Presentations fell into one of three project areas: forest productivity, ecosystem-based management and community involvement/planning. IFPA consultants and project managers made some 14 different half-hour presentations on a variety of topics, from remote sensing of beetle attack to an update on the sustainable forest management plan currently being developed by the agreement.
