Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Forest Science & Technology Course of Action is a set of priorities for the generation, dissemination, and application of scientific & technical knowledge in seven action areas concentrating on the development of the Canadian Forest Service's capacity in technology transfer, training, communication, and forest management expertise. This publication reviews Canadian Forest Service research as it corresponds to the thematic areas expressed in the Course of Action, highlighting the extent to which the Service's program responds to Canadian forest policy initiatives and forest sector priorities. The thematic areas covered are: a team approach to forest science & technology management; developing methodologies for measuring indicators for sustainable forest management; public participation; forest ecosystems; the forest industry; forest stewardship; and relationships with Aboriginal peoples. For each area, the underlying issue is stated, followed by an overview of research and a selection of current experiments & studies.

Download or read book Revisiting a Forest Extension Strategy for British Columbia written by Shawn Morford and published by University of British Columbia Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Rapid and significant changes in British Columbia are greatly affecting the province's forest sector and are leading to an increased demand for reliable, science-based information. To help guide forestry extension programming in the province over the next 5 years, FORREX Forest Research Extension Partnership (FORREX) staff, in partnership with the Forest Investment Account - Forest Science Program, conducted a survey of clients, partners, and contacts. This web-based survey was designed to: (1) identify perceptions regarding the need for forestry extension in British Columbia; (2) characterize information gaps that exist within the forest sector; (3) identify barriers to the incorporation of new information; (4) evaluate information sources and forestry extension services; and (5) seek recommendations regarding the future of forestry extension. In August 205, a 26-question survey was e-mailed to 1368 potential respondents who were selected from the forrex client database. Using a stratified random sampling method, respondents were chosen from nine groups (academia, consultants, federal government, provincial government, First Nations government, major licensees, municipal government, non-government organizations, and "other"). A response rate of 22% was achieved with this survey instrument; the calculated maximum error was 5.4% at a 95% confidence level. All groups agreed that the need for extension services is greater now than it has been in the past 10 years. The greatest perceived barriers to incorporating science into management and decision-making were the lack of formal organizational processes, the profit focus of land managers, and the lack of time and funding to attend extension events. A majority indicated that extension should be paid by some ratio of public funds and cost recovery, although this ratio was not agreed upon. The operational community indicated a preference for accessible, concise information delivered in a timely fashion that does not require significant investments of time to absorb and incorporate. Overall, this survey showed that there is no "one size fits all" approach for forestry extension services. A goal of future extension could best be described in the succinct words of one respondent, "Keep it relevant and bring the newfound information to the user quickly."

Download or read book Investing in Place written by Sean Markey and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future of northern British Columbia, a vast, resource-rich region of vibrant cultures and diverse communities, could be either driven by a narrow economic agenda or guided by innovative, place-based solutions that seek to build viable communities and resilient local and regional economies. Investing in Place is about creating the foundations for renewing northern British Columbia’s rural and small-town economies. Markey, Halseth, and Manson argue that renewal is not about nostalgic reliance on the policies and economic strategies of the past – rather, it is about building a pragmatic and innovative vision for development, one that acknowledges both the opportunities and the challenges posed by resource development and global and technological change. For policy-makers and residents alike the path to renewal lies in place-based development, which consists of people working together at all levels of the community and region to take advantage of local opportunities in a sustainable, responsible way.
