Description: 

Whitebark Pine Ecosystem Foundation Conference

WPEF’s annual gatherings are an opportunity to increase awareness and understanding of high elevation pines.  For fifteen years, we have steadily strengthened ties between managers, scientists, academics, and the public.  In 2017 we return to Canada where interest and activities are growing.  Come to the WPEF 2017 Science and Management Conference in Jasper National Park on September 21st and 23rd and celebrate Canada’s 150th Birthday in one of our most breath-taking places (http://www.pc.gc.ca/Jasper). 
WPEF’s 16th annual workshop will showcase:

  • The latest news, science, and management tips for practitioners, students, educators, the public, and others with an interest in dwindling five-needled pines.
  • Exceptional on-the-ground learning experience by visiting high-elevation forests with interpretation by experts.
  • Opportunities for improving cross-border networks.
