DESCRIPTION:
The 15th Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI) Annual Conference will be held September 21-23, 2010 in Vancouver, British Columbia at the Renaissance Vancouver Hotel Harbourside. This year's conference will be examining the Power of Partnerships.
More than 2,500 individuals and groups involved in the SFI program are improving forest practices, raising awareness about the benefits of forest certification and responsible fiber sourcing, and working with conservation groups, community leaders, government agencies, family forest landowners, tenure holders, community forest licensees, and many others.
Conference programming will begin the afternoon of Tuesday, September 21 and wrap-up with lunch on Thursday, September 23rd. A preliminary agenda will be available soon. Join us in Vancouver in September as we explore the many ways collaboration leads to improved forest management, education & outreach efforts and implementation of the SFI Standard.
Touted as a "must-attend" event for forest professionals from community organizations and companies of all sizes, government agencies, conservation groups, customers and family forest owners across North America, the 2010 SFI Annual Conference is rapidly approaching!
Join moderator Rick Jeffrey, President, Coast Forest Products Association, for this year's exciting program bringing together participants from all facets of our forests to demonstrate how dynamic and diverse partnerships can strengthen forest practices and deliver science-based actions benefiting forests and communities across North America and beyond.
