WELCOMING WORDS FROM THE OC Since winning the bid to host IFSS 2014 in Turkey 2012, the three IFSA Local Committees in British Columbia (University of British Columbia, University of Northern British Columbia, and Thompson Rivers University) joined forces to plan the forest journey you are about to embark on: a journey of learning and discovery spanning thousands of kilometres and covering 9 out of B.C.’s 14 biogeoclimatic ecological zones. Throughout the two weeks of IFSS, we aim to present as many aspects of the intrinsic and undeniable relationship British Columbia has with forests; to show the livelihoods that depend on these unique ecosystem, and the connections forests have with the province’s past, present, and future.

It has been two years of passion, dedication, and immense privilege to bring this event to fruition. We are honoured to host IFSS for the !rst time ever in Western Canada and to showcase our beautiful province to 115 international delegates from 32 different countries. On behalf of the entire Organizing Committee, we welcome you to the 42nd International Forestry Students’ Symposium!

Olivia Sanchez Badini, Simon Nadeau, Nichola Gilbert, and Justin Jackson IFSS 2014 Co-Chairs S"

WELCOMING WORDS FROM THE IFSA PRESIDENT   The IFSS has always been the biggest highlight of IFSA. This is a great opportunity to meet forestry students  from across the world. Our progress as a youth organization in forestry has grown to be a force to reckon; we have managed to strengthen our relations with forestry professional partners. This IFSS 2014  in Canada will be an opportunity to evaluate the progress we have made and set new goals and aspirations of youth in forestry.

The pinnacle of IFSA's participation is in informal and formal forestry education development. Our foreword will be to encourage an active participation in discussions: have the courage to assist in advocating a better outcome for youth in forestry matters! Youth collaboration is a great way to achieve a  common understanding for solving universal challenges or sharing progressive ideas across the world. There is a powerful reason for us to stay hopeful about the future of natural resources on Earth.  Someone once said ’'Even if I knew the world will end tomorrow, I will still plant that apple tree'’.

Looking forward to the next coming years of IFSA and its dynamic youth participation. We are certain that you will treasure these great memories of the IFSS 2014 in Canada. Ndaa, Vhatakale (Thank you, and enjoy). Kutelani Tshivhase IFSA President 2013-14 3

ABOUT IFSS 2014: "OUR ROOTS, OUR FUTURE"

Our Roots, Our Future: The theme for this year’s Symposium is one that has resonated with everyone involved in the planning, both Organizing Committee members from British Columbia and those from abroad.

Forests are our roots: from coastal temperate rainforests to interior deserts, these ecosystems constitute the very fabric of B.C.’s identity. About two thirds of the province’s 95 million hectares are forested, and complex geological processes over millennia have endowed it with incredible diversity and species richness. First Nations peoples have ties to the forest older than recorded history; the !rst European settlers relied heavily on forests, and industries and communities have grown around timber harvesting and processing. Recognition of the value of non-timber forest products and ecosystem services is also well established and growing.   Forests are our future: the forest sector continues to be the foundation of the province’s economy. Today, all communities in British Columbia, urban and rural, continue to have signi!cant cultural, recreational, spiritual, and economic connections with the province’s forests. Since 94% of B.C. is public land, resource managers are tasked with balancing diverse environmental, economic, and social perspectives in order to act in the public’s best interest, and innovations in technology, industry, and governance are essential to move forward.  

Our Roots, Our Future reverberates far beyond British Columbia’s forests. IFSA members are some of the most active and brightest forestry students in the world, and as future forest managers, biologists, and engineers, we must understand where we came from to know where we must go as a student organization. In the past few years, the IFSA North American contingent has seen much growth, and will no doubt continue growing from here. Similarly, we hope this Symposium will springboard IFSA as a whole to greater strength! IFSA brings a global perspective to the formal education experience, and provides a platform for forestry youth advocacy. Thus, it is our honour to provide new perspectives to all of our members, near and far, and a platform for the 25th General Assembly. Remember the roots of the forest in B.C., and take those with you to create a brighter future.
