This presentation makes a case for “boldly going where no forester has gone before”: deconstructing the 100-year-old paradigm of reforesting with local seed sources.

Join Deb Wellwood for her reflections on community-based problem solving for social-ecological resilience.

Since time immemorial, people have been interacting with mountain goats in the mountainous landscapes of what is now commonly known as the Skeena Region.

Dr. Kessler will reflect on her 45-year wildlife science and management career in this seminar. Kessler studied at Berkeley and Texas A&M University.

Natural disturbances (e.g., wildfire) are important drivers of forest change that influence the present and future composition of species across the landscape.
