Petawawa Research Forest Post-Conference Field Tour

The Petawawa Research Forest (PRF) is located in Chalk River, Ontario in the Ottawa Valley, approximately 175 km northwest of Ottawa. As a living laboratory, the PRF has a long legacy of providing scientific data that informs researchers, scientists, and industry about long-term trends to help address forestry issues now and in the future.

Highlights of the tour will include visits to several active research installations and on-going scientific studies, including: Permanent Sample Plots (PSP) 1 and 2, the first PSPs established in Canada (1918); the adaptive silviculture for climate change sites, fire behaviour and ecology studies; the forest biomass study; and white pine regeneration and competition management.
