The ABCFP's annual forestry conference and AGM will take place in Kelowna at the Coast Capri Hotel. It will be slightly shorter than normal to allow attendees to arrive the morning of April 8 and leave in the early evening of April 9 to minimize the number of hotel nights required. This event offers you two options for each breakout session. Sessions marked "Strategic” will focus on higher-level issues while the sessions marked "Applied” will highlight the on-the-ground issues. Attendees are free to move between the streams to get as much as possible out of the conference.

During the evolutional course of Mother Nature and the conflict between man and nature, different kinds of natural disasters take place unexpectedly (i.e. earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, tsunamis, typhoons and floods). Uncovering the negative impacts of these natural disasters takes a long time. These disasters not only threaten the existence and development of humans, but also bring huge impacts to forests and ecosystems.
Responding actively to natural disasters while sustaining ecosystem health is a serious issue and a long term mission for the entire world. The upcoming conference aims at building a platform for forestry experts, gathering them together to study this severe situation.
Topics to be examined include, but not limited to:
1. Impacts of forest-related natural disasters such as debris Flow, landslide, earthquake, and countermeasures of destroyed forest restoration.
2. Monitoring, early warning, prevention and control techniques as well as measures to reduce loss on drought, flood, ice, wind (including Hurricane, tornado), hail, thunder, and fire.
3. Monitoring, early warning, prevention and control techniques as well as measures of forest diseases (such as fungus, bacterium, virus), pest, rat, rabbit and invasive species.
