The Temperate Forest Foundation's 2002 Eastern Canadian Tour was run in partnership with the Canadian Ecology Centre and the Forestry Research Partnership. The Forestry Research Partnership is a joint undertaking between four principal groups: the Canadian Ecology Centre, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, the Canadian Forest Service, and Tembec Inc. These four partners are working together to create a strategic alliance with the benefits of both the environment and forestry. The mission of the Forestry Research Partnership is to identify, develop, and implement ecologically sustainable and scientifically defensible leading edge forestry practices required to maintain and enhance an economically viable supply of quality fibre to Tembec mills, and to the communities those mills support, over the long term.

This tour was based in Mattawa, Ontario where the Mattawa River runs into the Ottawa River. We crossed the Ottawa into Quebec for part of the tour.
