Forest Genetic Resource Conservation and Management in Canada by Petawawa National Forestry Institute Pdf
The National Forest Genetic Resources Centre held a workshop to address issues relevant to the conservation and management of Canada's forest genetic resources. The workshop included presentations highlighting the current status of conservation efforts and ideas and strategies for optimal in-situ and ex-situ conservation of forest genetic resources. Working group discussions were a major component of the workshop and were aimed at identifying gaps in current conservation efforts, conservation priorities, research initiatives to support conservation priorities, and promoting opportunities for increased collaborative efforts. A major output of the workshop was the development of a framework for a national strategy to focus on the sound management of Canada's forest genetic resources. This report presents the workshop proceedings, including the contributed papers on forest genetic conservation.
