S.J. Hall Lectureship in Industrial Forestry

This lecture will address issues around global depletion of non-renewable resources, climate change and the future role that lignocellulose, particularly forests, will play in providing goods and services that are renewable and leave a much softer environmental foot print. It will also highlight some of the exciting new technologies that will not only help transform the forest products sector, but also provide considerable benefits to society.

Dr. Ian de la Rosche is President and CEO of FPInnovations, Canada. Formed in 2006 it is the world's largest private forestry and forest products research institute.
