bullet3 Major achievements

Much expertise has been developed and results published in forest health - entomology and pathology - as well as in silviculture, ecology and fire management. Driven by Canada’s vast geography, particular progress has been made with applications of remote sensing and geographic information systems to forest inventory and management.  The results of research have been applied in the innovative “Model Forests” programme, which includes an international component developed through partners in other countries (described in Chapter 2).
