Nobel Prize Winner Speaks on the Social and Ecological Value of Forests
Professor Peter Duinker of Dalhousie University is Professor in the School for Resource and Environmental studies. He has recently held the posts of Director of the School and Associate Dean Research for the Faculty. Peter has worked with Regional Municipalities in preparing the first ever urban forest master plan, as well as a campus tree plan at Dalhousie, and government, NGO, community an industry actors, in investigating policy and management best practice in sustainability and urban forests. Peter is also engaged in investigating best management practices for maintaining water flows in treed wetlands when new roads are built through them. Peter's research interests focus on the social and ecological aspects of urban forests, along with development of management and policy systems for sustainable urban forests.

ISSR and SLGP are pleased to invite you to this important event, which will generate connections and inform an academic and practitioner audience of best practice in the Canadian context of urban forest management, policy and sustainability strategy. The recent policy debates around governance of forest areas in the UK highlight the need for collaborative working and sharing best practice in this area, so we would be delighted to invite you to join us for an informative talk and some inspiring debate!
