Description
This course addresses the principles and practices of sustainable forestry in Canada. It outlines the evolution of the Canadian forest industry, examining past and current forestry policy, practices, and legal frameworks. Topics include harvesting, reforestation, forest protection, private woodlot forestry, and specialty products, as well as the acts, regulations, codes, and guidelines which govern these aspects of forestry. The course examines the place of Canadian forestry within the larger context of multi-resource management, multi-stakeholder processes, and the global market. The environmental impact of forest management activities on natural landscapes is reviewed under ever changing environmental codes and restrictions and the need to produce "green products."
