Canadian Forestry Can Save The World
Story Studio Network
The global fight against climate change has become a collective race against the clock. To keep the average temperature from rising by more than 1.5°C — the mark noted by nations the world over as the one we need to hit to fulfill the promise we’ve made to future generations — we need collective action from every corner of society.
Our forests have a critical role to play in that fight, and Canada’s in particular stand as a
potential game-changer when it comes to growing a greener economy and combatting climate change. But how we manage them matters.
In this podcast we’ll explore what’s happening in Canada’s forests and why they represent so much untapped potential. We’ll talk to the experts who are leading the charge in efforts to advance sustainability in the forestry sector and the innovators who are using this renewable resource to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and build more sustainable communities.
We’ll explore the misconceptions that have complicated the narrative around Canada’s forestry sector and whether sustainably sourced wood products can be Canada’s ultimate contribution to the climate crisis.
Join us as we answer the question: Can Canada’s forests really save the world?

Mass Timber at Mass Scale
Canadian Forestry Can Save The World
02/20/24 • 32 min
Canada is facing a housing crisis. To meet rising demand and support the 1-in-5 Canadians unable to find affordable housing, we need to construct nearly 6 million units by 2030. This is a lofty but attainable goal if industry, governments, and the public can come together to support the innovative building solutions that will not only help us build more homes quickly, but align with our climate goals. And those solutions? They can be found in our forests.

Wildfires & Fighting Fire with Fire
Canadian Forestry Can Save The World
01/23/24 • 33 min
In 2023, wildfires ravaged Canada’s forests, consuming over 16.5 million hectares of land, twice
the previous record set in 1989 and over 6.5 times the national average of area affected.
So what can be done? This week we’ll talk with Mike Morrow, a Wildfire Prevention Officer with
the BC Wildfire Service and Jen Beverly, an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Agriculture at
the University of Alberta, about the reality of what’s happening on the ground and the practices
that can help mitigate the severity of wildfires. We also talk to Dr. Jamie Stephen of Torchlight
Bioresources about how the timber produced from thinning can be used to fuel a promising new
energy source: biomass.

Innovative Approaches To Reconciliation
Canadian Forestry Can Save The World
03/12/24 • 26 min
In Season 2, we’ve looked at the many ways those in the forest sector are thinking differently to find innovative solutions to our most pressing climate challenges. This week, we turn that thinking on its head to examine how traditional ways of thinking about forestry are opening the sector up to new possibilities. JP Gladu, Principal of Mokwateh, Tina Rasmussen of Meadow Lake Tribal Council, and Jacob Taylor, CEO of Indigenous Aerospace, show us how Indigenous forest practices are strengthening the environment and creating economic opportunity.

The ‘Other Half of the Log’
Canadian Forestry Can Save The World
01/30/24 • 31 min
We know trees are used to produce the lumber that will help us build more homes, but have you ever wondered what becomes of the bark, wood chips and branches leftover after a harvest?
This week, we explore how the adoption of a zero-waste approach can help fuel our futureeconomy — in some cases, literally. From forest company’s like Resolute salvaging biomass out of areas affected by wildfires to LP Solutions creating more sustainable options for home-building, zero-waste innovations in Canada’s forest sector are maximizing the potential of one of Canada’s most renewable resources.

E4 The Force of Fire
Canadian Forestry Can Save The World
01/31/23 • 28 min
You’ve heard of fighting fire with fire? In many ways that’s what’s happening in our forests. Fire has long been a natural part of the forest lifecycle, and our foresters respect that, using both it, and innovative harvesting techniques, to reduce the likelihood that a more catastrophic wildfire breaks out.
In this episode, we talk with Amy Cardinal Christianson about how prescribed burns have long been part of traditional forest management practices while Paul LeBlanc, a district forester from Manitoba, tells us how those practices have been adapted into modern forestry techniques. We speak with Landon Shepherd about the natural role of fire in a forest’s lifecycle while Steve Kozuki sheds light on how a cartoon bear shifted forestry practices and policy away from harnessing this natural force for an entire generation.

What do wildfires, housing and climate change all have in common? Aside from being among
our most pressing challenges, they’re all things a sustainable forest sector can play a role in
solving.
Welcome back to Season 2 of Canadian Forestry Can Save The World, the podcast that
explores what’s actually going on in our forests and the role they can play in supporting a more
sustainable future. In Season 2, we’ll dive deep into the innovations that are poised to truly take
forestry to the next level when it comes to creatively solving some of our most pressing
challenges, but before we do, we take a look back at what we learned last season about the
values, practices, and people that underwrite all that potential by ensuring that Canadian
forestry is sustainable forestry. We’ll also talk to David Coletto, CEO of Abacus Data, to better
understand what Canadians want to see from our forest sector and kind of solutions they’re
looking for.
