Join Dr. Suzanne Simard (professor and author of Finding the Mother Tree) and Hélène Marcoux (director and forester at the Malcolm Knapp Research Forest) for a two-hour guided walk along our hiking trails through a forest that’s more than just trees.As part of ongoing research exploring alternatives to clear-cuts, discover how tree retention forestry supports soil carbon and ecosystem resilience – all while exploring the challenges and trade-offs of logging in a living ecosystem. Along the hike, we’ll look at recent forest operations, discuss how logging equipment and harvest decisions shape the land, and see firsthand what’s left behind when we rethink clear-cutting.
Participants should be prepared to walk 1-2 km on hiking trails, rain or shine.
