The Global Forest Insect Quaratine Facility located at Simon Fraser University, British Columbia will lead western North America by assisting in a proactive front line defense system fighting foreign insects. In addition to our insect related studies, we are also testing biological control agents to effectively combat forest diseases. These agents are naturally occurring in our forests. This program recognizes that the First Peoples intrinsic knowledge of plants and their traditional uses is of tremendous importance and economic value. In conjunction with Professor Nancy Turner's research group at University of Victoria, Global Forest is pleased to be working with numerous First Peoples nations on recording and studying their indigenous plant knowledge and uses.
Children are our future.
There are thousands of children who belong to this wonderful club. Global Forest Society is committed to sharing the wonders of the forest with the general public. In addition to our websites, we produce educational books for children, the general public and scientists. All proceeds from our books go towards funding our scientific and children's educational programs. All rights reserved.
