The Free to Grow in Forestry initiative aims to achieve gender equality and meaningful inclusion of equity-deserving groups at all levels from technical to executive level positions in the forest sector. The initiative is an unprecedented collaboration that was launched in 2018 as a result of the Gender Equity in Canada's Forest Sector National Action Plan Initiative, spearheaded by the Canadian Institute of Forestry and the Centre for Social Intelligence, with strategic guidance from the National Steering Committee of forest sector leaders. They provide tools to help support positive workplace culture, including learning modules.
