As of 1 Feb 2002 the research institute Global Forest Science is pleased to announce that it has opened a branch office in Banff, Alberta - the heart of Canada's oldest National Park. "It makes a great deal of sense that Global Forest be located in Banff, we have several key forest biological initiatives in the Rocky Mountain trench", says founder and President Dr. Reese Halter. "Furthermore, we have made a long term commitment to this region and as such we will be more involved in numerous aspects of forest conservation in the ensuing years", says Dr. Halter.
