As the voice of forest practitioners, the Institute regularly provides input on the development of forest policy at the provincial and federal level. The leadership, coordination and positioning, based in sound-science, has the potential to effect positive change in the forest sector. Policy and position pieces are developed by policy ‘Think Tank’ committees, and approved by the National Executive.
Is there a topic in your local area that requires a national voice? Interested in being a part of a policy ‘Think Tank’? Contact us..
