Indigenous Forestry Conference

September 10 - September 11, 2024
Port Alberni, B.C. Show map

Marking a pivotal moment for sustainable forestry practices and Indigenous stewardship of the land.

We aim to unite Indigenous leaders, forestry professionals, environmentalists, and policymakers to explore the integration of traditional Indigenous knowledge with modern forestry management practices.

We underscore the crucial role of collaboration and respect for Indigenous rights and territories in achieving ecological sustainability and unlocking economic opportunities for Indigenous communities.

A significant focus will be on closing the economic gap, emphasizing the need for First Nations’ access to capital to participate meaningfully in the forest sector and creating opportunities for Indigenous entrepreneurs.
