Celebration of Research
May 10, 2019 @ 8:30 am - 4:30 pm
Celebrate research and learn!
Have you ever been curious about the research going on at Haliburton Forest? You may know about about the recreational activities and forestry operations at Haliburton Forest. However, you may not know that we are constantly conducting research. Continuing to learn about our forest and its inhabitants is important in being able to effectively manage and work alongside them. Topics of study encompass many aspect of Haliburton Forest, such as forest ecology, climate change, tree health, pollinators, etc… Join us for a Celebration of Research, where our many partners will share their findings. University of Toronto researchers together with Haliburton Forest Staff are sure to teach you something new during this full day of presentations.
The schedule of presentations can be found below.
Cost: There is no charge for this event.
Included: Buffet lunch at the Cookhouse Restaurant as well as several informative presentations.
While you’re here, check out our Speciality Lumber and Character Log Auction on Saturday. Make a weekend of it and stay in one of our cosy housekeeping units.
