The International Canopy Network

Welcome to The International Canopy Network

The International Canopy Network (ICAN) is devoted to facilitating the continuing interaction of people concerned with forest canopies and forest ecosystems around the world.

ICAN is a non-profit organization supported by a global community of scientists, conservation advocates, canopy educators, and environmental professionals. The organization is funded by subscriber dues, donations, and grants.

A membership with ICAN represents an investment in a rapidly advancing science for the benefit of both humans and forests.

ICAN publishes a quarterly newsletter "What's Up?" that addresses issues concerning the forest canopy and features articles, resources, and citations pertaining to research and education.

ICAN's email bulletin board serves as an opportunity for researchers, educators, and conservationists to discuss the many concepts, perspectives, and objectives associated with forest canopies. To subscribe, send a message to canopy-request@lternet.edu
