INCREMENTAL SILVICULTURE – MIRACLE or MYTH
What works for the coast of BC?
With ever increasing budget constraints, a changing climate and the shift from harvesting old growth to managed second growth forest, CSC felt that it was timely to revisit the role of incremental silviculture on the coast of BC. The intent of the session is to explore the ‘miracle or myth’ (or likely something in between) of incremental silviculture. The organizing committee is planning to invite a range of speakers – some from south of the border – that will provide both research and operational experience and personal insights into the benefits and limitations of the various treatment options; the workshop will stress the links between treatments and desired outcomes and focus on what works and doesn’t in coastal BC forests. The program will also include a moderated question and answer session after all the presentations are made.
The workshop will have something for everyone and all forest practitioners are invited to attend. The timing of the 2012 Winter Workshop was planned with consideration of the ABCFP AGM and will be held on February 22nd 2012; the ABCFP Conference starts the evening of the 22nd and ends on the 24th. See you in February.
