The Université de Moncton’s Edmundston campus and the City of Edmundston have signed a five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to enhance collaboration in urban forestry training and research. Through this agreement, students in UMoncton’s forestry management program will participate in educational training activities, such as field trips, practical courses, internships, and placements in the city’s forests. The agreement will also support joint research projects in urban forestry, which will be led by UMoncton professors and students who are completing their final theses. UMoncton recteur Denis Prud’homme stated that this partnership will provide students with valuable hands-on experiences, preparing them for careers in the growing field of urban forestry.
