Are we Promoting Future Forest Resilience?

News

Check out UBC’s new forestry discussion blog, Rethink Silviculture. The blog aims to provide a mechanism for discussions on silviculture practices. There is a wealth of experience, ideas, and opinions out there and the blog founders are eager to create a forum for discussion and feedback.

You are invited to join the discussion around issues surrounding silviculture, free to grow policy and forest regeneration in the face of climate change. Any and all comments you can share regarding these issues and your personal experiences with them are greatly appreciated.

Discussion Board

1. What changes in regeneration and stand tending practices are needed to promote resilient, valuable forests?
2. Do current regeneration practices adequately address risks from climate change and forest health factors all the way to rotation age?
3. In your opinion, is application of the “free-to-grow” concept resulting in stands that will meet government objectives for timber and other values?
4. How could free-to-grow regulations and other silvicultural policies be changed to promote resilient and valuable forests?

5. What tools (decision-support tools, models etc.) do you use to help you make silvicultural decisions? How could they be improved?
