The EFRI Kick-Off workshop was held from September 4-6, 2024. The first day of the workshop was an introduction to the Nova Scotia Forest Ecosystem Classification (FEC) Guide led by the co-author of the guide, Peter Neily. Students had an opportunity to learn in the field about how to classify a forest stand using the FEC guide and take soil samples using a soil auger.
The remaining two days of the workshop took place at Dalhousie University’s Agriculture Campus. The first day was facilitated by Tyler Colburn and Tania Cheng from Seahorse Strategies and focused on developing shared values and learn about decolonizing research and the second day consisted of members presenting the research projects that they are working on. Below is the harvest report of the activities on September 5, 2024.
