From its opening pages of three years ago, Boreal Conference 2006 had a story to tell. It followed an outline put together by conference organizers with four main chapters: Climate Change as a Driver of Change; Globalization and Community Sustainability; Natural-Disturbance-Based Management; and Balancing Protection and Use. The theme running through the story was one of change; social, economic and environmental. What happened between the opening and closing words was a product of informed presenters and thoughtful questioners, and time in the program to allow them to exchange knowledge and ideas. It is hoped that the following digest will provide enjoyable reading; a chance to revisit the event for those who were there, and chance for others to read the story
