Now in its 4th year, the Chisholm Awards for Innovation in Forestry is celebrating the innovative spirit and leadership of young students and researchers in Canada’s forest sector. Administered by Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC) and launched in 2022, the program serves as a tribute to young researchers dedicated to making a positive impact on Canadian forestry and its future. “The awards program highlights groundbreaking research and innovative solutions that are poised to profoundly influence the future of sustainable Canadian forestry,” said FPAC President and CEO Derek Nighbor. “We are honoured to acknowledge the brilliant talents who contribute to the future of our sector by recognizing the leading projects and accomplishments of young researchers.” The program is open to Canadian students and researchers who are at the forefront of developing transformative innovations within the forest ecosystem – including in forests themselves, production processes, supply chains, or through product development.
