Forestry and insects

Furbish’s lousewort is kind of like the canary in a coal mine. The question now is, can we help it bounce back?

For nearly a century, Canada’s research forests have evolved from their early roots in commercial forestry, branching out to become dynamic hubs of scientific exploration addressing some of the most urgent questions of our time.  

In an effort to outpace climate change, scientists are conducting research to discover tree species that can best adapt to shifting environments.

In this episode, we’re going to explore the world of urban forests and hear about how they can transform concrete jungles into vibrant livable spaces. We reached out to a couple of experts from the Canadian Forest Service to talk about the ins and outs of urban forest management. This episode is also a double feature, with our friends from the Statistics Canada podcast “Eh-sayers” talking about the ironies of data when it comes to the environment. Both stories share a common theme: “it’s not easy being green.”
