Women in Wood – a network created to bring together passionate women from across Canada and around the world who work in, with and for the woods – celebrated its 10th anniversary with over 100 women from across the forest sector at an event at Fleming College on October 18. The event was highlighted by a panel featuring Women in Wood co-founders Jess Kaknevicius, CEO of Forests Canada, and Lacey Rose, Registered Professional Forester with County of Renfrew, along with Vanessa Nhan, Lead Forest Analyst at Silvacom, and Eleanor Reed, Forests Canada Field Advisor. The panel was moderated by Astrid Nielsen, owner of Dendron Forestry Services. “Being able to celebrate this milestone and connect with the next generation was uplifting and created a sense of hope,” Kaknevicius says.
