Hello, I am Catherine Pearson and am excited to introduce myself as the new Liaison Officer between the International Forestry Students’ Association and the Commonwealth Forestry Association for 2018-2019. I am currently in my second year of studying BSc Forestry at Bangor University in North Wales. I am particularly interested in forest policy, forest health and international biosecurity, but I am yet to find an aspect of forestry I don’t find interesting.
IFSA is a global forum which aims to connect future foresters and help them to enrich their learning through networking opportunities, sharing research and understanding forestry in a global context.
My main role is to engage both organisations in promoting each other’s work and to pursue opportunities for collaborative events. I’m looking forward to helping IFSA and the CFA celebrate one another’s successes in our mutual goal of achieving international forestry excellence following the CFA’s strategic review.
Feel free to contact me with any opportunities you think the CFA and IFSA could work together in, or just to say hello.
