Carol Walker Hart, Dan Marinigh, Will Martin, and Kim Rapagna

BARRIE, ON – At Forests Ontario’s Annual General Meeting on Wednesday, February 7, 2024, the organization welcomed four new members to its Board of Directors: Carol Walker Hart, Dan Marinigh, Will Martin, and Kim Rapagna. Forests Ontario would like to thank outgoing Directors Gail Beggs, Bob Hyland, David Sisam, and Riet Verheggen for their service and commitment to forest restoration, stewardship, awareness, and education. The four new Directors join Forests Ontario at an exciting time in the organization’s history. This past fall, the Honorable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, announced an investment of over $61 million that will see 31 million trees planted across Canada by 2031 through Forests Ontario’s national division, Forest Recovery Canada. …The new Directors will also have the opportunity to join Ontario’s largest forestry conference at Forests Ontario’s 2024 Annual Conference on February 28, 2024, in Vaughan, Ontario.
