Since its inception in 2006, the Canadian Wood Fibre Centre (CWFC), a branch of Natural Resources Canada’s Canadian Forest Service, has placed an emphasis on Knowledge Exchange (KE). KE at the CWFC has followed a progression from raising awareness, to generating interest, through to providing support for those deciding to adopt an innovation. Designing a program of national scope with regional delivery has led the CWFC to partner with different regional delivery organizations. Across Canada, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) based Enhanced Forest Inventory has become a very successful innovation spearheaded by the CWFC in partnership with academia, the forest industry, and a growing consulting sector. The KE program for LiDAR based Enhanced Forest Inventory is used as an example to illustrate the CWFC’s KE methods along with a description of regional delivery agencies and the success in getting this innovation adopted.
