Centre for Forest Interdisciplinary Research
C-FIR students and research associates are an important part of our ongoing research and training initiatives. Creating opportunities for meaningful student involvement through education and research is crucial to successfully fulfilling C-FIR’s original mandate and objectives. By becoming involved in faculty research, C-FIR students and research associates gain valuable experience from and contribute to projects in many relevant fields, including forest ecology and biology, forest policy and planning, conservation, recreation, wildlife management, Aboriginal forestry, forest economics, forest health, silviculture, and growth and yield. Below are current and past students and research associates who have worked with C-FIR faculty.
