Knowledge Exchange and Technology Extension (aka KETE) is a Sustainable Forest Management Network (SFMN) program designed to facilitate the two-way transfer of information between researchers and partners. Partners include resource managers from industry, government and first nations. The role of SFMN partners in Knowledge Exchange is to express knowledge gaps and information needs, while researchers are encouraged to make new information readily available in easy to read documents and workshops, throughout the project life-span. It is anticipated that this process will increase the probability and rate at which new information is incorporated into policy and resource planning. Further details can be found on the SFMN Knowledge Exchange and Technology Extension website.
The HELP project has 4 forms of Knowledge Exchange on this website:
The following presentations have been made by HELP researchers at conferences, meetings and workshops outside of HELP.

Bi-annual newsletters are distributed to government, industry and academics.
