2025 Fall Field Tour
SISCO
The Southern Interior Silviculture Committee has been in existence since the 1960s. Our purpose is to promote appropriate silviculture practices in BC by hosting two events each year – a winter workshop conference and fall field tour excursion – to provide venues for discussion of forestry issues and topics.
SISCO does not endorse any political party or platform; we are non-partisan and our sole purpose is to promote dialogue about good silviculture and forest practices in the BC.

This year’s fall field tour looks at silviculture practices that pro-actively plan for avoiding, reducing or mitigating the harm caused by catastrophic events that occur ever increasingly due to climate change; that respect cultural values of indigenous communities; and that manage for biodiversity and fully functioning ecosystems.
We will tour Ministry of Forests research sites, Alkali Lake Indian Band and Williams Lake Indian Band forestry practices, and Industry operations that demonstrate how these practices are being implemented. What we’ll see includes:
Dry Belt Fir Management for Mule Deer Winter Range, and Indigenous Values
Dry Belt Fir Prescribed Burning for Wildland /Urban Interface Values and for Cultural Values
Silviculture Practices for Mitigating or Avoiding Reforestation Problems Due to Climate Change,
Grasslands Ecosystem Management
Wildfire Risk Reduction: MOF District and First Nations Perspectives
