Speakers:

A panel at the Penwara meeting in Edmonton brought together timber-industry and academic experts to debate active forest management, wildfire risk and the climate role of managed forests. Panelists argued that suppression and set-aside policies have produced older, fire-prone stands and urged policy changes to support sustainable timber production and rural economies.
