Jackie Hamilton

Canadian Forest Owners (CFO) is proud to continue supporting private land forestry research by offering the 3rd Peter deMarsh Memorial Bursary to Jackie Hamilton, who is in the final stage of her PhD candidacy in the Natural Resource Sciences Department at McGill University. Her doctoral thesis focuses on the relationships between trees and people in southern Quebec’s Mont Saint-Hilaire Biosphere Region. Hamilton is a student member of the Ontario Woodlot Association. “Jackie’s research aims to help us further our collective knowledge about the benefits of rural trees and the contributions people make,” states CEO Andrew de Vries, CFO. “Her goal to highlight the significant contribution of tree managers in producing valuable private and public benefits will have an impact on CFO woodlot owners and will hopefully provide a clearer story of the state of working landscapes across Canada.”
