Learn MoreCanadian Forestry Program
NCASI’s Canadian Forestry Program is focused on research-oriented towards addressing the environmental aspects of forest management in Canada. Given the Crown land ownership context, much of NCASI’s research in this program area is publicly-available and NCASI collaborates with government and other stakeholders on a number of initiatives to enhance the application of this research to the forested landscape. Individual research projects are designed in consultation with NCASI’s Canadian Forestry Program Committee and address the full array of issues that members manage associated with terrestrial- and aquatic-related environmental priorities and also incorporates research associated with approaches for landscape conservation planning as well as sustainable forest management certification.
