In this edition of EcoNews, we air our concerns with the recent fire at the American Iron and Metal (AIM) facility in Saint John and highlight the work of Dr. Moe Qureshi, who presented a vision for a clean energy future in the New Brunswick legislature. Also, we invite you to celebrate our 54th annual general meeting and welcome two new members to the Conservation Council team. We’ll also explore the thought-provoking play Wood Buffalo, the differing environmental approaches in Canada and Ghana, the transformative power of community forestry and the benefits of electric school buses in New Brunswick.
Communities are taking an active role in nurturing the woodlands that surround them. In this transformative movement, Canada has a unique opportunity to lead the way in redefining forestry, harmonizing local needs, ecological care and economic progress. Learn more about how community forestry is gaining momentum with this latest blog by Amanda Page.
