ForestKnowledge
A UNIQUE FORUM
ForestKnowledge is for anyone interested in science and education about trees, forests and their interactions with society and the environment.
Discussions on forest issues are often fueled with emotion, ideals and beliefs. Science-based knowledge is essential when attempting to separate facts and myths. ForestKnowledge is independent and science-based. We provide impartial information, as well as highlight areas of knowledge, where science is agreed, and bust a few myths along the way.
Together we learn to see the forest and the trees!
