Comox Valley Nature, in conjunction with the Canadian Society of Environmental Biologists, is pleased to present the following free online lecture:
Title: On Transforming Tree-Farms into Forests
Speaker: Tal Engel
Date: Sunday, September 24, 2023
Time: 7:00 p.m. PT
The general public is welcome to attend. See the registration link below.
This talk presents an integrative and regenerative forestry approach to facilitating fire-resilience, moisture-retention, and overall ecological integrity in degraded forest ecosystems. This holistic restoration regime uses novel ecological thinning approaches, the reintroduction and establishment of keystone native biological agents, and the creation of ecological replicant structures to promote and accelerate the development of resilient old-growth conditions.
