Falldown: A Conversation about Forests and Forestry in B.C.

British Columbia’s forests are globally crucial because of their extraordinary biodiversity, rich carbon pools, mountain hydrology, and Indigenous cultures. This evening of stunning visuals, provocative voices and live discussion will provide the audience insight into BC’s forests and forestry. The province is at a crossroads – which path will be taken?

A stunning short film – Falldown - will open the evening – highlighting the paradox between the global image of Beautiful BC and the reality of forest management in BC today where ancient forests are still clearcut and First Nation voices are often unheard.

Dr. Suzanne Simard – author of Finding the Mother Tree and soon-to-be released When the Forest Breathes, will lead a live conversation with a panel discussing the opportunities and barriers to a fundamental shift in how forests and their multiple values are viewed, managed and maintained for the future.
