Canadian Forest Service
The Service coordinates Canadian national programs and promotes Canadian forest sector's interests in Canada and abroad.
On Course
The National Forest Science & Technology Course of Action is a set of priorities for the generation, dissemination, and application of scientific & technical knowledge in seven action areas concentrating on the development of the Canadian Forest Service's capacity in technology transfer, training, communication, and forest management expertise. This publication reviews Canadian Forest Service research as it corresponds to the thematic areas expressed in the Course of Action, highlighting the extent to which the Service's program responds to Canadian forest policy initiatives and forest sector priorities. The thematic areas covered are: a team approach to forest science & technology management; developing methodologies for measuring indicators for sustainable forest management; public participation; forest ecosystems; the forest industry; forest stewardship; and relationships with Aboriginal peoples. For each area, the underlying issue is stated, followed by an overview of research and a selection of current experiments & studies.
Managing Knowledge at the Canadian Forest Service
This document provides a foundation on which a knowledge infrastructure can be built for the Canadian Forest Service and an initiative put forward. The first part describes the technological, social, forestry, and organizational context that surrounds knowledge management at the Service. The concepts of the information society and knowledge economy are interpreted according to how they influence knowledge management at the institutional level. This is followed by an examination of the nature & characteristics of forestry knowledge and an overview of the Service's organizational structure within which the knowledge infrastructure will be developed. The second part develops a model of knowledge management and proposes a three-dimensional framework for a Canadian Forest Service knowledge infrastructure. The final part addresses the establishment of a Canadian Forest Service knowledge initiative and presents an overview & discussion for the development of a strategic plan.
Forest Health : Context for the Canadian Forest Service's Science Program
This is the first in a series of papers intended as guides to the current and future directions of the Canadian Forest Service science program. It defines "forest health" and describes why the Service, in co-operation with a wide range of partners, addresses forest health issues through research, monitoring, and assessment activities in its science and technology research networks. Research areas are outlined in the fields of exotic insects and diseases, global environmental change, biological diversity, and forest management. Finally, some emerging issues in forest health are listed.
Toward a National Forestry Science and Technology Agenda for Canada
The initiative described in this report was undertaken to fulfil one of the objectives in Forestry Canada's 1990 strategic plan, namely to review and analyze the roles, responsibilities and interrelationships of Canada's forestry research and development agencies, and from that to develop a "national Forestry Science and Technology Agenda for Canada". This report describes the work carried out between 1991 and 1993, and the conclusions reached, with that objective in mind.
