The northeastern
United States and eastern Canada share a vital and common link to the
northern forest. In addition to strong economic dependence, people of
the region derive considerable recreational, aesthetic, and ecological
values from this forest. The future of the region clearly relies upon
the sustainable management of this highly valued forest resource.
Because of the
northern forest’s importance to the region, forest managers and
researchers from the northeastern states and eastern Canadian provinces
are working continuously to find solutions to a wide variety of natural
resource problems. Great work is occurring on both sides of the
US/Canadian border that would be further enhanced by regular information
exchange about issues affecting the northern forest. A forum is needed
to promote ongoing discussions and collaborations about the latest
forest problems, methods, findings, and technologies.
The Eastern
CANUSA Forest Science Conference was developed to provide a regular
venue for communications among forest managers, forest scientists,
policy makers, students, natural resource professionals, and others
interested in forest resource issues from both sides of the Canadian/US
border.
