Kathi Hagan

Because of her years of experience as an in-house editor at a major Canadian forest research institute, as well as her experience as a freelancer for many forest industry clients, Kathi’s knowledge of forestry and wood products is broad.

The subjects of Kathi’s projects have included:

• Estimating greenhouse gas emissions/removals in Canada’s forests.

• Mountain pine beetle.

• Forest products and value-added marketing.

• Forests and climate change.

• Logging operations, from road building to silviculture.

• Harvesting and sawmill economics.

• Ecology and wildlife.

• Hydrology, pedology, and geology.

• Architectural applications of wood in large buildings.

Practical as always, Kathi’s talent lies in massaging complex material into forms that are readable and useful.

While always comfortable dealing with highly technical documents, Kathi is also very adept at re-writing or converting scientific-speak into words suitable for a general-interest readership.

Kathi’s clients are located across the continent and include:

• federal and provincial governments,

• crown corporations,

• research institutes,

• academia,

• forest companies, and

• special interest groups.

Kathi understands the importance of working to deadline. She is committed to providing clients with effective results on time.
