Toward a New Era in Sustainable Forestry
More holistic and sustainable approaches to forest management are now widely recognized as the way ahead, and significant steps have already been taken in that direction. Nevertheless, many challenges remain to be addressed, through science and technology (S & T), before sustainable forestry can be fully implemented. This document sets out the strategic plan that will guide the Canadian Forest Service S & T program during the period 1995-2000.

Development and Structure of the Canadian Forest Fire Behavior Prediction System
The Canadian Forest Fire Behavior Prediction (FBP) System is a subsystem of the larger Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System, which also includes the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index (FWI) System. The FBP system provides quantitative estimates of head fire spread rate, fuel consumption, fire intensity and fire description and gives estimates of fire area, perimeter, perimeter growth rate and flank and back fire behaviour. This report describes the structure and content of the system and its use with forest fire characteristics.
Silviculture Tuned to Nature and Wood Energy Production
The workshop whose proceedings are presented in this document provided an opportunity to learn from scientific papers and field demonstrations how Swiss forest managers combine bioenergy production, silviculture, and nature. Topics of the papers provided in this document include Swiss forests and their bioenergy potential, Swiss silvicultural practice, biomass and wood energy harvesting, wood energy applications in Switzerland, harvesting and preparation of energy wood, economic evaluation of impacts from a biomass fuel market in Nova Scotia, the use of gray alder in hardwood plantation forestry, use of forestry as an energy source in the United Kingdom, and management practices for jack pine in Ontario.
Technical Report
The seminar was conducted to provide a high-level technical forum to promote an exchange on measurable criteria and indicators to achieve sustainable forestry, and to examine the state of data collection and monitoring activities related to these identified criteria and indicators. This document gives background information on the organization of the seminar, the agenda and modalities, and a summary of the findings; descriptions of meeting of experts; facilities and support; hospitality; field trips; and workshop reports, the keynote address, and presentations by invited speakers.
Forest Insect and Disease Survey
Ce document présente des renseignements sur les effets des facteurs naturels et anthropiques sur l'intégrité des écosystèmes forestiers du Canada. Plus particulièrement, on y offre un relevé des insectes et des maladies des arbres pour la période allant de 1993 à 1998.
