OPFA features MCF graduate journey and roots of U of T field camp

Ontario’s regulator of professional foresters (RPF), the Ontario Professional Foresters Association, features an article by master of forest conservation graduate Stevie Rae Luzzi (MFC 2024) in the latest issue of The Professional Forester.

Sharing our roots: journeys to becoming a professional forester introduces some of Ontario’s new registered and associate professional foresters by sharing the personal stories behind their decision to join the profession and their experience as a professional forester so far. It highlights the wide range of backgrounds and career paths that strengthen forestry in Ontario and the value this diversity brings to the profession.

In another story, RPF and alumnus Fred Pinto (BScF 1978) and John Pineau, content and production coordinator for The Ontario Woodlander magazine, trace the origins of the U of T field camp to the Temagami forestry protests of the early 1990s.
