October 6 – 8
Silviculture Systems that Anticipate Catastrophic Events and Climate Change in the Dry-Belt Douglas-fir Zone
and Introduction to and Overview of the New Silvicultural Systems Handbook
PLEASE COMPLETE OUR POST-EVENT
This year’s fall field tour will visit the Chimney Valley, Slater Mountain and the UBC Research Forest. It 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,
- reflect cultural values of indigenous communities, and
- support biodiversity and fully functioning ecosystems.
The program also features talks on the New Silvicultural Systems Handbook.
We will tour Ministry of Forests research sites, Esk’etemc First Nation and Williams Lake First Nation forestry practices, and Industry operations.
