Last week the Creston Community Forest board and staff attended the BC Community Forest Association's conference and AGM held in Nanaimo.
Thank you to the BC Community Forest organizers, exhibitors and presenters at this 2025 event.
Creston attendees included Tom Olenczuk, (Chair), Robyn Usher (Director), Erich Endersby, Angela French and Daniel Gratton.
This was an opportunity to engage with other community forests from across the province and learn from other forest professionals. Presentations included Forest Landscape Planning, bringing back fire onto the landscape, forest policy, innovative silviculture and community engagement.
The conference wrapped up with presentations from the UBC Centre for Wildfire Coexistence hosted by Dr. Lori Daniels, Dr. Kelsey Copes- Gerbitz and Dr. Sarah Dickson -Hoyle.
Since 2021, the Creston Community Forest has collaborated with UBC's TreeRing Lab in assisting Masters students in their research regarding wildfire risk reduction.
