Where science, policy & resource management unite

We are an independent, not-for-profit organization located in Smithers, BC. Our purpose is to supply the robust science required to inform and advance policy and practice related to sustainable natural resource management.

This project aims to support community-centered practices, uphold Indigenous stewardship and knowledge, affirm alternative practices and steps to implementation, and increase the resilience of BC’s forests in the face of climate change.
