If you are planning for long term wood supply, wildfire risk, or sustainable harvest, this conversation explains how disturbance, insects, and climate are reshaping the forests you rely on.

In this episode, Forestnet Media CEO Anthony Robinson speaks with Dr. Allan Carroll, Professor of Forest Ecology at the University of British Columbia and a leading expert on forest health and disturbance dynamics. They walk through the science behind large scale insect outbreaks, including the mountain pine beetle epidemic that transformed roughly 18 million hectares of forest in western Canada, and what that means for mills, communities, and future risk.
