Hi All,
Each spring at the MCFT graduation, the NBFTA gives out an award to the New Brunswick student graduating from the college with the highest standing. This year’s award was given out to Mark Wentzell of Fredericton (right). Award being presented by Riley Côté-DeMerchant (left) on behalf of the NBFTA.
Hello Everyone,
Just in case you didn’t receive it, below is the link to the 2014 membership invoice for the NBFTA.

Hi All,
The Spring/ Summer 2014 edition of The Azimuth has now been published. Dusty Corey has completed a significant amount of work on this and has worked hard to ensure it went out this spring, I would like to thank him for this. I would also like to thank Blair and France for their help.
Please review and distribute widely, please also feel free to provide comments and suggestions for the Fall issue.

Hi All,
The new forestry strategy seems to be staying in the news lately. The most recent addition to the controversy is an open letter written to Minister and signed by 184 professors and instructors. As the forestry world is small, many of our friends and colleagues have signed this. It’s a well worth a read and something to think about this long weekend.
Riley

The New Crown Land Forest Management Strategy has been in the news quite a bit lately and has sparked considerable discussion around the management of our provincial resources. For those who haven’t had a read yet, you should read through it. It’s a strategy so it isn’t very long.
