Explore the Hidden Side of the Forest

Since 1949, the Malcolm Knapp Research Forest has hosted over 1,000 research projects covering a variety of topics and studies. Now’s your chance to go behind the scenes and discover what researchers have learned over the decades. Join us for a guided van tour through rarely-seen areas of the forest and explore a rotating selection of research sites and studies each year.

This tour is led by Hélène Marcoux, Registered Professional Forester and Manager of MKRF. Participants will meet at the front gate, and then be taken on a tour through the forest in the research forest van. This is a unique opportunity to access parts of the forest not usually open to the public—don’t miss it!
