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.
