About the FFESC
In March 2008, the BC Ministry of Forests and Range established the Future Forest Ecosystems Scientific Council (FFESC) to guide the allocation of a $5.5 million grant-in-aid to research that supports the objectives of the Future Forest Ecosystems Initiative (FFEI) – namely, adaptation of the forest and range management framework to climate change.
The FFESC is a cooperative council comprising representatives of the Ministry of Forests and Range, the University of British Columbia (UBC), and the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC).
