This "Vimy Oak" graces the @GLFC_CFS building in Sault Ste. Marie, standing as a tribute to the sacrifice Canada's soldiers made in France over 100 years ago. The Canadian Forest Service proudly honours their legacy with a living symbol of this pivotal moment in history. 🧵

Lots of great discussion from this panel which included TRIA PIs @catcullingham @heathmacmillan @Mark_Alun_Lewis
The morning session of the #MPBForum wrapped up with a panel discussion on MPB biology, host tree genetics, and how to incorporate this new information into models.

As of today, wildfires have burned well over 700,000 hectares just in Alberta, just this year. From everyone at fRI Research, we are incredibly grateful for the efforts of thousands of firefighters and support personnel in the face of an unprecedented situation.
