October 1, 2026 | 10 am (PST) via Zoom: Coast to coast to coast, Canada is facing bigger, more extreme, and more complex wildfires that are increasingly difficult to manage. Join this free webinar for a conversation with Wesley Bell (Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS)) and colleagues about their recent widespread literature review to investigate the past and current state of forest, wildfire, and land use management in Canada and the lessons that could help reduce wildfire risk, improve conditions for communities, parks, and conserved areas, and uplift culture and Indigenous knowledge. Since 2019, the Collective for Parks, Conservation, Innovation and Leadership (CPCIL) has hosted free monthly webinars … To date, more than 65 webinars have reached over 6,000 attendees from 400+ organizations. In 2026, CPCIL Research Associate Dr. Don Carruthers Den Hoed joined UBC’s Faculty of Forestry & Environmental Stewardship to help strengthen collaboration with conservation groups and Indigenous partners.
