Adaptive Silviculture for Climate Change - An Experimental Installation at the Petawawa Research Forest
Partners from across the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Forest came together to address challenges created by climate change and to develop the first ASCC site in Canada at the Petawawa Research Forest during a three-day workshop in Pembroke, Ontario. Glen Prevost, Industry Advisor at FPInnovations, attended the workshop and published a summary report detailing the workshop process and the draft experimental design of the ASCC project at the Petawawa Research Forest.

Petawawa Research Forest ASCC Site in the Ottawa Citizen
Check-out the Ottawa Citizen article featuring Petawawa Research Forest ASCC Site Lead, Mike Hoepting, as he takes a walk in the woods with science reporter, Tom Spears. The article details how Canadian foresters working on the ASCC site at the Petawawa Research Forest are thinking about different strategies for adapting to climate change, including exploring southern tree species that may be more adapted to the Ottawa Valley and the Great Lakes region in the future.
