About this episode
In this episode of Forestry Talks, Aspen sits down with Jesse Petroskey, a Woodland Supervisor in the Mackenzie Region, recently designated as the Forest Capital of Canada. Jesse shares his unexpected journey from aspiring dentist to passionate forester, and how the forestry program at NAIT changed his life. The pair explore the critical role of adaptive management in Alberta's wildfire-prone landscape and dig into Tolko's approach to forest regeneration.
Tune in to discover what makes the Mackenzie Region so special and learn how its community and industry are working together to ensure a resilient future for Alberta's forests.
