Rosalia Jaffray

Canadian Forest Owners (CFO) is proud to announce it has awarded University of British Columbia (UBC) Faculty of Forestry master’s student Rosalia Jaffray its $2,000 Christopher Lee Memorial Scholarship for her outstanding academic and leadership achievements. With an undergraduate degree in Harvest Planning and Engineering, Jaffray’s graduate studies focus on optimizing sustainable forest management practices using a novel open-source modeling framework for forest operational planning. Jaffray is registered both as a Forester-in-Training and an Engineer-in-Training, and plans to complete these professional designations after graduating. “I am delighted that my research aligns with Christopher Lee’s legacy advocating for sound forest policy, sustainability, and the welfare of forest-dependent communities, and will help to ensure private forest landowners have the tools they need to better respond to dynamic changes in operational environments,” remarks Rosalia Jaffray, UBC Faculty of Forestry Master’s Student.
