Forum on Forest Pests Poised to Start

Monday, December 04, 2006 03:57 AM

The rest of the Country will get an update on the Mountain Pine beetle this week as the annual Forest Pest Management fourm gets underway tomorrow in Ottawa.

Although only a short period of time will be spent on updating the Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic, there will be extensive talk on global warming, domestic and international research as well as discussion on other invasive threats to Canada's forests.

This is the 54th year for the forum which has a reputation for getting all levels of government and industry talking about issues such as invasive species, regulations, and forest management.
