The 2018 Northern Silviculture Committee Winter Conference is currently under development and more information will be available soon.
Managing for resilience and mid-term timber supply on a dynamic landbase
With an unprecedented wildfire season behind us and the spruce beetle outbreak continuing to expand, there are widespread challenges on the horizon. Some of the challenges are familiar and some seem new due to the cumulative complexity of forests and the systems that regulate them. Land managers must find innovative ways to sustain ecosystems and enhance the value of the available natural resources on a landbase that is ever-changing. In a time where policy, land ownership, ecology and climate are all shifting it is the role of the Silviculturalist to assess the current situation and use visionary thinking to look forward, act now, and create the resilient forests of tomorrow.
The aim of the 2018 NSC Winter Conference is to provide ideas, tools, and contacts that will help you achieve these goals.
