As an educator wishing to learn about sustainable forest management, you need to learn it first-hand from resource professionals in a forest environment. The Manitoba Forestry Association (MFA) understands this and has developed Forest Ed to provide such an opportunity for teachers, interpreters, or youth leaders.
Forest Ed draws together 25-30 educators, who spend 2 to 3 days with qualified instructors touring and participating in hands-on activities. There is an emphasis on providing participants with useful information they can use in their classrooms, or in the field. Forest Ed is a unique experience unlike any other environmental education workshop offered in Manitoba.

The Forest Ed workshop that was scheduled for March 12th and 13th, 2010, in the Whiteshell Provincial Park has been postponed until early 2011 due to lack of participants.
The next Forest Ed workshop is being planned for Western Manitoba - October 2010. Please check back for more details.
