Forestry and Caring for all our Relations: with Indigenous Forester David Flood

Indigenous People in Canada have been stewards of the forests since time immemorial. And because industrial-scale logging happens on Indigenous land, it’s imperative that we discuss how we collectively, as Treaty Partners, better our relationships and build a path to coexistence.

In this episode, we sit down with David Flood, Registered Professional Forester and General Manager for Wahkohtowin Development GP. We break down why forest management in Canada needs to be informed by Indigenous systems of knowing, and what meaningful consultation with Indigenous Peoples truly looks like.

Stay tuned for a second episode with David, coming to all streaming platforms next Wednesday, November 15th!

You can find out more about David and the work that he does at the Wahkohtowin Development GP website.
