UVic Centre for Forest Biology

News - University of Victoria Dynamic, hands-on learning; research that makes a vital impact; and discovery and innovation in Canada's most extraordinary academic environment provide an Edge that can't be found anywhere else.

As a Centre we have decided to move away from social media platforms & will now only be posting information that was previously shared on our social media platforms, on our new News Webpage: www.uvic.ca/research/cen...

As part of our CFI funded Environmental Simulation Facility upgrade in the Bev Glover complex, we are currently in the process of deconstructing our existing Growth Chambers for removal and relocation. Chambers 1 & 10 are ready to be broken down with our 3 remaining chambers set for deconstruction!
