2020/21 Forestry Grad Student Research Poster Competition

Congratulations to the Winners

The annual Forestry Graduate Student Research Poster Competition usually takes place at the Forest Sciences Centre in Term 2. In lieu of an in-person event, this year’s posters were made available online for public viewing. The submissions cover a diverse range of research topics and we are delighted to present some of the outstanding work carried out by our graduate students.

 Thank you to all participants who took part in the competition, as well as our adjudication committee (Drs. Stavros Avramidis, Nicholas Coops, Rob Guy, and Yousry El-Kassaby, chair).
