Tenure and the Management of Non-timber Forest Products in British Columbia by Sinclair Tedder Pdf

This report offers a management proposal for NTFPs that would involve a restructuring of forest management through a separation of the timber harvesting function. This would include separating the actual process of felling, processing and marketing of timber from the post-harvest silviculture reforestation and stand tending function, where a focus on NTFP production would broaden the comprehensiveness and potential benefits of joint production. There is significant potential for local participation in this form of management, especially among First Nations [Aboriginal, Native peoples].

Non-timber Forest Product Development in British Columbia's Community Forests and Small Woodlands by Emily Jane Davis Pdf

The British Columbia Inter-agency Non-timber Forest Resources (IANTFR) Committee was established in January 2006 to facilitate a co-ordinated approach to non-timber forest resource management in the province. The Ministry of Forests and Range and Ministry of Agriculture and Lands co-chair the IANTFR Committee. Other government partners include or have included what are now the Ministry of Small Business, Technology and Economic Development, the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, and the Ministry of Community and Rural Development (names of some Ministries have changed since 2006). Representatives from the First Nations Forestry Council and the First Nations Mountain Pine Beetle Initiative have participated in committee meetings. The Centre for Livelihoods and Ecology (formerly the Centre for Non-Timber Resources) at Royal Roads University provides expert advice and support services to the Committee. The Ministry of Forests and Range also contributes to the Committee by providing staff time and expertise, and resources to produce publications. The goals of the Committee are (1) to improve communication and co-ordination across the provincial government, and (2) to advise government on issues related to non-timber forest resource management in British Columbia. The IANTFR Committee members have produced a communication strategy that includes the production of publications designed to improve awareness about non-timber forest resources so that they are managed appropriately.

Policies for Sustainably Managing Canada’s Forests by Martin K. Luckert,David Haley,George Hoberg Pdf

With more than three quarters of Canada's forests under provincial control, provincial forest policies are crucial for encouraging the sustainable management of the nation's forests. Forest tenures, which allow private companies to manage public forest resources, are the key policy tool that provinces use to balance the requirements of sustainable management with the economic concerns of the forest industry. By offering an up-to-date comparative examination of contemporary provincial forestry policies, this book provides forest managers, policy-makers, scholars, and students with the information and concepts to critically examine Canada’s complex forest tenure systems. The authors look at tenure, stumpage fees, and other forest practices to assess how well different provincial schemes achieve the goals of sustainable forest management. They identify a number of essential policy attributes that could be used to guide tenure reform, consider potential barriers that could prevent meaningful change, and offer much-needed practical guidance on overcoming these obstacles.

The bioeconomy and non-timber forest products by Carsten Smith-Hall,James Chamberlain Pdf

This book provides the first in-depth investigation of how non-timber forest products are an integral part of local, national, and global bioeconomies. While the plants and fungi that produce non-timber forest products are essential to the sustainability of forest ecosystems, peoples' food and livelihood security and sovereignty, and thus the bioeconomy, are often absent from bioeconomic strategies. Presenting a selection of empirical cases from around the world that engage with the bioeconomy and non-timber forest products, this volume reveals how essential these products are to creating a greener and more sustainable future, how to to better integrate them into efforts to transition to and expand the bioeconomy, and how such efforts can be supported and developed. Chapters analyse how and to what degree non-timber forest products promote sustainable resource use, generate employment, and contribute to food and livelihood security and poverty alleviation. The volume develops approaches and identifies interventions and policies to support the integration of non-timber forest products into bioeconomy strategies, including in national reporting schemes to provide recommendations for future research and practical implementation. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of forest and natural resource management, bioeconomics, circular economy and ecological economics more widely. It will also be of interest to professionals working in sustainable development and the forestry sector.

The Wealth of Forests by Chris Tollefson Pdf

These are turbulent, unpredictable, yet opportune times for Canadian forestry. Never before have competing demands on Canada’s forest resources been so great. At the same time, we are finally being forced to confront the sustainable limit of these resources. Now, the improbable has happened: government, industry, First Nationa, and NGOs appear to be part of an emerging consensus that industrial forestry in Canada must change. The Wealth of Forests is a pioneering attempt to grapple with the policy implications of the transition to sustainable forestry. While much has been written on the theory and practice of sustainable forestry and on the relative merits of regulatory versus market approaches to environmental protection, these literatures have nnot as yet been bridged. Using illustrations based on recent developments in British Columbia forest policy, this collection provides that bridge by analyzing the potential and limits of market, regulatory, and other policy instruments as means of achieving sustainability. Featuring new work by many of Canada’s leading forest policy scholars, this interdisciplinary collection is devoted to translating the concept of sustainability into practice in key areas of forest policy, including tenure, timber pricing, forest practices, land-use zoning, and eco-certification. The Wealth of Forests also considers how domestic and international legal regimes might constrain the adoption of policies that could bring us close to the elusive goal of sustainable forestry.

Getting More from our Forests: Ten Proposals for Building Stability in BC's Forestry Communities by Ben Parfitt Pdf

The CCPA would like to thank the following organizations for their financial contributions to this work: The BC Federation of Labour, The BC Government and Service Employees Union, The Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union, Endswell Fund of Tides Canada Foundation, The Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers of Canada, and The United Steelworkers of America District 3. Getting More from Our Forests: T [...] The end result is that from Hazelton in the northwest Interior, to the banks of the Fraser River in South Vancouver, to Youbou on the shores of Cowichan Lake on Vancouver Island, mills were closed and the companies who operated them were allowed to retain their tenured Crown timber holdings. [...] Of the five significant mergers to occur in the industry in 2004 and 2005, three involved companies with major Interior forest tenure holdings and one resulted in what is now, by far, the largest forest company in the province. [...] Today, Canfor operates the largest production softwood lumber mill in the world at Houston, BC.4 The company had record profit in 2004 of $420.9 million, and is in the process of building another lumber mill in not-too-distant Vanderhoof that will rival the Houston mill in output.5 The Houston mill's high efficiency helped propel Canfor into the upper echelon of the world's top-performing forest c [...] And he hopes that the province will see the value in what he is doing and give him assured access to timber through a long-term licence agreement, similar to the licences held by the major companies in the region.

Property Rights and the Sustainable Management of Non-timber Forest Products by Sinclair Tedder Pdf

The purpose of this report is to examine the use of property rights as a means to develop an effective, efficient, and equitable management regime for non-timber forest products (NTFPs). After an introduction on NTFPs as an example of a common pool resource, section 2 provides some definitions of NTFPs and summarizes NTFP characteristics from both a market-based and First Nations perspective. Section 3 discusses the legal structure of property rights in British Columbia and the legislative basis for establishing a management regime. Section 4 discusses the economic context of NTFPs, property rights, and the institutional approaches to organizing common pool resources such as NTFPs. Section 5 provides a synthesis of the information and proposes a framework for developing a management regime. The appendix contains a matrix showing the characteristics of six categories of NTFPs (mushrooms, floral & greenery products, wild fruit & vegetables, landscaping transplants, craft products, and medicinal & pharmaceutical products).
