Forest Industry Lecture Series
The Forest Industry Lecture Series was started during the 1976-77 University term as a seminar course. The late Desmond I. Crossley and Maxwell T. MacLaggan presented the first series of lecturers. The contributions of these two noted Canadian foresters is greatly appreciated.
The Forest Industry Sector represented by individual primary production companies, consulting companies, forest research organizations, professional organizations, and industry groups in western Canada cooperates with the Alberta Government Agency responsible for the Alberta Forest Service, currently the Sustainable Resource Development Department, to provide funds to sponsor noteworthy speakers. This initiative significantly enriches the Renewable Resources Program in the Faculty of Agricultural, Life & Environmental Sciences at the University of Alberta.
Speakers in the series visit for periods of up to a week, with the visit highlighted by a major public address. Visitors come from North America, Europe, Africa and Asia. Their talks deal with a wide range of topics such as: forest ecology, forest science, silviculture, wildlife management, forest management, ecosystem management, lumber and paper sales, labor, international trade, forest economics and forestry-related social issues. Speakers are scientists, industry and business leaders, senior government officials, academics and forestry alumnni.
