Conservation Council of New Brunswick forest program director, Tracy Glynn, spoke with Mark Kilfoil in an recent episode of CHSR’s 97.9 Lunchbox about the Conservation Council’s first-ever 5 Days for the Forest. The festival marks National Forest Week (Sept. 19-24, 2016) and and takes place in Fredericton.
The forest festival will celebrate our diverse mixed-wood forest, wildlife and flora. The events will foster an appreciation of New Brunswick’s forest biodiversity in an effort to ensure its conservation.
“When we are driving we sometimes see the spruce, pine and fir plantations along the highway, but we have this remarkable diversity in our forests: the different maple trees, birch trees and butternut trees that grow long the Saint John River,” said Glynn.
“That’s worth celebrating!”
