The theme of this conference is “leveraging technology to improve silviculture and the digitalization of the value chain”; an innovative Canadian initiative in which New Brunswick will be the pilot landscape. This conference will illustrate key steps to the restoration and sustainability of hardwood and mixedwood forests in the northeast of North America. A showcase forest site will be used as a state-of-the-art educational and training tool to demonstrate adaptive silviculture techniques focused on problem-solving and finding solutions at the operational level. The event partners include the Northern Hardwoods Research Institute, the University of New Brunswick, and the Canadian Institute of Forestry – Maritimes Section. 

It's also a great summer to visit as the Greater Fredericton Area was designated as the 2023 Forest Capital of Canada (FCC)! The NHC is our keystone networking event but many more in-person and virtual networking events are coming together. Events will be promoted on the same social media accounts above.
