As part of the Sustainable Forest Management Network’s- Knowledge Exchange and Technology Extension (KETE) program, we chose a subset of our top researchers to showcase in a national electronic lecture series. The topics, ranging from biodiversity conservation to water resource management to ecosystem valuation, were timely and relevant for the forest industry. The ‘Foundations for Change’ series aimed to provide managers with the information they needed to make tough decisions in forest management today.
