The Faculty of Forestry is committed to promoting Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) for all, with a particular focus on the people and communities who have been systemically and historically excluded from academia and the fields of forestry, conservation and resource management.
This commitment extends to the lands and places on which our Faculty has the privilege to work and grow upon, and will require the lived experiences and perspectives of all peoples we aim to serve, work, educate and collaborate with. In making this commitment we recognize that the professions and disciplines taught and promoted within the Faculty have historically and in some cases, continue to this day, to be involved in discriminatory actions and practices.
Lands the Faculty work and grow on - Forest Sciences Centre: Traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xสทmษฮธkสทษyฬษm (Musqueam First Nation) - Malcom Knapp Research Forest: Traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Katzie First Nation - Alex Fraser Research Forest: Traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Tโexelcemc, Xatsuโll and Esket First Nations.
As we move towards a more just and equitable future, meaningful long-term change must come from within ourselves, as well as within our Faculty. Our activities designed to meet our JEDI goals centre around three key actions โ fostering systemic change, facilitating difficult conversations and providing opportunities to learn and remove barriers
