Canada’s forests cover 347 million hectares of land and make up nearly 9% of the world’s total forest area. This makes us the third-most forested country in the world by area.

That’s a lot of forest power, which can go into fueling the domestic production of sustainable energy, sustaining Indigenous businesses, and mitigating our housing crisis, among other things.

In this Focus On Forestry, we bring together experts from the forestry sector to explore the transformative potential of forestry and answer these questions:

• What role will forestry play in helping us overcome our biggest challenges today?
• What does the forestry industry need in order to continue innovating and improve sustainability?
• Where does Canada stand today with respect to our leadership in forestry?
