OUFC Fall 2008 Workshop and Annual General Meeting will be held on October 16th, 2008 at Toronto Botanical Gardens, Toronto: THE URBAN FOREST – AN EVOLVING ECOSYSTEM is a full day seminar organized by the Ontario Urban Forest Council. Urban forest practitioners and researchers share their perspectives on changes in our urban ecosystems, past present and future. How development is changing what lives in our urban forest, and how we are accommodating changes to forest species. An array of forest species will be discussed including trees, wildlife, invasives and others. How we can best plan for the future with changes to water management, seed collection, and green corridors. More details will be coming soon.
