This book was released on 1990 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Expert Panel was appointed by the government following the announcement of the new forest management agreements (FMAs) in northern Alberta. A series of public meetings and workshops were held in northern Alberta, after which the Panel reviewed the issues arising, as well as reviewing any other forest land management issue in Alberta but not the environmental impacts of the proposed pulp mill facilities. The report covers recently announced forestry developments in northern Alberta, with existing FMA and quota operations considered in the more general forest management evaluations. The role of the government in allocating, planning, and regulating FMAs, the role of FMA holders in management, planning, and operations, and the role of the public in this process are all outlined and discussed, as well as technical aspects of forest management, environmental impact, wildlife management, and reforestation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an effort to influence public attitudes toward forest management, some forest companies have undertaken initiatives to inform the public of their activities and of the science involved in forest management. This study is an evaluation of the effectiveness of one of these initiatives: public tours of a company's mills and woodland operations. Sunpine Forest Products Ltd. of Sundre, Alberta, initiated a study in 2000 to determine if information and firsthand experience of forestry operations could influence public attitudes. A survey was administered during public tours in a before-and-after design. Although knowledge levels were greater among those who completed the survey after the tour, no substantive attitudinal differences were observed. Tour participants, who were primarily from communities near the Sunpine operations, were older and less educated than the general public of Alberta. Tour participants also had more favorable attitudes toward forest management than the general public. The results suggest that the tours attracted a limited segment of the public who had relatively positive views of forest management before participating.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a descriptive analysis of attitudes and behaviors associated with public involvement in forest management in Alberta. Data were collected by mail survey in 1999 from two main groups; the general public and members of forest-industry public advisory groups (PAGs). The survey measured general levels of public interest in forest management, and determined the public's preferred forms of involvement. Sources of information, perceptions of the accuracy of those sources, and perceptions of organizational and community groups influence on forest management were also assessed. Results suggest that PAG members differ from the general public in terms of socioeconomic characteristics and in terms of attitudes and behaviors associated with public involvement. Furthermore, the findings illuminate two conditions with respect to public involvement. First, the respondents accessed a wide range of information about forest management and had distinct preferences for one source of information over another depending on their geographic location (urban or rural) and their degree of contact with the forest industry (PAG members or the general public). Second, the respondents strongly supported public involvement in general and clearly preferred citizens' committees as a specific mechanism for that involvement. Although the representativeness of PAGs is considered key to effective public involvement, the authors recommend moving beyond the profile of PAG members to evaluating the process within which their deliberations take place.
