We’re always excited to share more about the forest industry in Alberta. Take a look at our campaigns, follow us for updates or connect with us on social media to learn more.

Forestry Talks is a podcast that explores all things forestry in Alberta with host Aspen Dudzic. Stay tuned for more episodes and updates coming soon.

Check out the videos below and visit loveabforests.com for a closer look at everything our forests do for us, and how we manage them with care in return.

This campaign was made possible by funding from the Forest Resource Improvement Association of Alberta (FRIAA).

Technology and innovation have transformed our industry’s work. Whether it’s using waste to generate green power, sending drones up to survey the forest, or building awe-inspiring products with engineered wood, advanced technology is integrated into almost every aspect of today’s forest industry.

Take a look at the technology and innovation that drives modern forestry here.

Right now in Alberta, forestry programs at the University of Alberta and NAIT have roughly equal numbers of women and men enrolled.

Women aren’t only choosing to become foresters, either. They’re also active in the industry as engineers, CEOs, mill managers and tradespeople.

Join us as we meet some of the dedicated women who’ve found their careers in forestry.

Forestry families are part of what makes Alberta’s forest industry special. There are a number of families in the industry that are incredibly passionate about their work in forestry, whether it’s running a business that’s been in the family for generations or working side-by-side at the mill. They also care deeply about the communities they live in and passing their knowledge on to the next generation.

Let us introduce you to some of the families who call Alberta’s forest sector home.

They’re professionals who combine academic expertise with an intimate, hands-on connection to the forests where they work. Alberta’s foresters are incredibly passionate about our landbase and our environment, and they’re working to manage the province’s forests sustainably for future generations.

That involves taking into account a whole range of different values, including water, recreation, animal habitats, and the future health of our forests. It’s a lot to think about, but that’s all in a day’s work. Meet some of our passionate foresters here.
