Canada model forest program

Beyond that, we also need to create practical initiatives in which the process of learning is built into the program in ways that can guide further changes in practice in a continuous fashion.

Climate Change and Knowledge Exchange: Linking Practitioners Through the CMFN The CMFN was joined by climate change experts and policy makers to share knowledge on the current status of climate change activities in Canada, and to discuss ways that researchers and practitioners could work together to further move the topic, through joint initiatives.

Creating a Circle of Wealth in Clayoquot. Found in the Clayoquot Forest Communities: green and culturally appropriate building design With the recent spotlight on the Attawapiskat First Nation, the ongoing crisis in First Nations housing around the country is finally being given the attention it deserves.

The project also aims to: Recognize both present circumstances and future prospects; Embrace the wisdom to be found in traditional values and use traditional knowledge as a sound starting ground; Use local resources and local labour, thus building local capacity; Grow and restore community skills.

By enabling forest managers to consider the effects of their planned activities on forest carbon stocks and stock changes, application of the model can potentially contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The tool was needed to help the industry meet the criteria and indicator reporting requirements of sustainable forest management, reporting requirements for forest certification, and to help managers understand how their actions affect the net carbon balance of their forest estate.

The goal of the partnership was to develop a user-friendly operational-scale carbon accounting tool. Two model forests, the Lake Abitibi Model Forest and the Western Newfoundland Model Forest, were selected as pilot sites for development and testing of the model.

As development proceeded, other model forests and their partners from across Canada contributed to model development through the testing of a beta-version. Results of analyses made with the CBM-CFS3 can be used for various types of forest ecosystem carbon reporting requirements. In Canada, for example, forest managers can use the model to report on forest carbon contributions to global cycles in order to comply with sustainable forest management guidelines.
