Download or read book Community Forestry in Canada written by Sara Teitelbaum and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2016-07-28 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, community forestry has taken root across Canada. Locally run initiatives are lauded as welcome alternatives to large corporate and industrial logging practices, yet little research has been done to document their tangible outcomes or draw connections between their ideals of local control, community benefit, ecological stewardship, and economic diversification and the realities of community forestry practice. This book brings together the work of over twenty-five researchers to provide the first comparative and empirically rich portrait of community forestry policy and practice in Canada. Tackling all of the forestry regions from Newfoundland to British Columbia, it unearths the history of community forestry, revealing surprising regional differences linked to patterns of policy-making and cultural traditions. Case studies celebrate innovative practices in governance and ecological management while uncovering challenges related to government support and market access. The future of the sector is also considered, including the role of institutional reform, multiscale networks, and adaptive management strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper adds to current understanding of the former & present status of old growth forest in Ontario. It first outlines the history of the province's forests since the last deglaciation, the settlement & land clearance patterns that occurred after arrival of Europeans, and the extent of original woodland still existing in southern Ontario. This is followed by two case studies illustrating typical settlement-area landscapes, based on analysis of historical land survey data, that question the popular view of pine as being the dominant species in old growth Ontario forests. Implications of the findings for forest restoration are discussed.

Book excerpt: "All of us who are concerned about the conservation of our forests - environmental activists, forest industry representatives, scientists, Aboriginal peoples, professional foresters, policy makers, students, in fact, the full spectrum of citizens from every walk of life - can be grateful that Ken Armson has taken advantage of his lifetime career to set this history down for those who come after." - Monte Hummel, President of the World Wildlife Fund, Canada, from the Preface. Sixty-four percent of Ontario's 106.8 million hectares is covered in forest. yet the average resident who spends only limited time in the forest - hiking, skiing, camping, cottaging or on the occasional northern getaway - is still much of a mystery. In Ontario Forests, veteran forester Ken Armson draws on over 50 years experience to describe this living blanket which has shaped much of the province and stands to dictate a great deal of its future. Ontario Forests is an authoritative account of Ontario's forest regions and their history. Complete with maps, charts and full-colour photography, each forest region is located and detailed. The various tree species which make each region unique are also highlighted, and their origins of glaciation, physiographic and geological change, climactic and soil variation analyzed. Professor Armson also describes the impact of humans, from aboriginal use through lumbering to the rise of reforestation and conservation.

Download or read book In the Power of the Government written by Mark Kuhlberg and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2015-03-27 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For forty years, historians have argued that early twentieth-century provincial governments in Canada were easily manipulated by the industrialists who developed Canada’s natural resources, such as pulpwood, water power, and minerals. With In the Power of the Government, Mark Kuhlberg uses the case of the Ontario pulp and paper industry to challenge that interpretation of Canadian provincial politics. Examining the relationship between the corporations which ran the province’s pulp and paper mills and the politicians at Queen’s Park, Kuhlberg concludes that the Ontario government frequently rebuffed the demands of the industrialists who wanted to tap Ontario’s spruce timber and hydro-electric potential. A sophisticated empirical challenge to the orthodox literature on this issue, In the Power of the Government will be essential reading for historians and political scientists interested in the history of Canadian industrial development.
