An Economic Analysis of Wood Supply from Private Land in Alberta by Canada-Alberta Forest Resource Development Agreement Pdf

The availability of fibre from private land in Alberta has been largely ignored because of a surplus from public land. However, much of this surplus has been allocated in recent years, so that fibre from private land is quickly becoming a potentially important wood supply for primary forest products firms in Alberta. This study obtained information from 38 land owners in west-central Alberta through a personal interview survey conducted in May 1989. Respondents were asked questions on the physical characteristics of their land, production costs from harvesting, questions related to their socio-economic conditions, and uses of their forest lands. The study also used a model to evaluate the relative importance of a number of variables for their effect on a landowner's decision to supply fibre now and in the future. A discussion of market structures for private fibre is presented, with the presence of transactions costs to both landowners and firms in procuring private fibre analyzed in light of the modelling results.

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.

Community Forestry in Canada by Sara Teitelbaum Pdf

This book brings together the work of over twenty-five researchers to provide a comparative and empirically rich portrait of community forestry policy and practice in Canada. Tackling all forestry regions from Newfoundland to British Columbia, it unearths the history of community forestry across the nation, demonstrating strong regional differences tied to patterns of policy-making and cultural traditions. Case studies reveal innovative practices in governance and ecological management but also uncover challenges related to government support and market access. This book also considers the future of the sector, including the role of institutional reform, multiscale networks, and adaptive management strategies.

Guide to Range Plant Community Types and Carrying Capacity for the Dry and Central Mixedwood Subregions in Alberta by Michael Willoughby,Alberta. Public Lands and Forests Division Pdf

This guide intends to develop a framework that would easily group the plant community types utilized by livestock in the Dry and Central Mixedwood subregions in Alberta and provide ecologically sustainable stocking rate information. Plant communities are grouped into a hierarchal system based on ecology. These groupings include successional communities which occur under natural succession or disturbance such as fire, timber or grazing operations. All of the known relationships among communities are described within this guide in table format and/or schematically. Additionally, each known plant community is described in detail.

Aboriginal Peoples and Resource Development in Northern Alberta by Monique Ross,Canadian Institute of Resources Law Pdf

"This paper is the final component of a multifaceted research project on legal and institutional responses to land and resource use conflicts in Northern Alberta. The paper evaluates the situation of forest-based Aboriginal communities faced with intensifying resource development in the northern boreal region of Alberta. It considers the extent to which the rights and interests of Aboriginal Peoples are acknowledged, protected and accommodated in the provincial resource allocation and development process. The paper begins with a brief discussion of Aboriginal and treaty rights in the context of Treaty 8, which covers Northern Alberta, and draws some implications of this analysis for the provincial resource development process. A review of the provincial government’s policies and commitments with respect to Aboriginal Peoples follows.

Forest Values and Attitudes of the Public, Environmentalists, Professional Foresters, and Members of Public Advisory Groups in Alberta by Bonita Lynn McFarlane,Peter Charles Boxall,Northern Forestry Centre (Canada),Foothills Model Forest Pdf

This report provides a descriptive analysis of selected forest values, attitudes toward sustainable forest management, and knowledge and socioeconomic characteristics of four stakeholder groups in Alberta: the public, environmentalists, professional foresters, and forest-industry public advisory groups (PAGs). Data were collected by mail surveys in 1999. The groups had different socioeconomic characteristics and disparate value orientations and attitudes toward forest management. Members of the public and environmentalists were more supportive of the inherent worth of the forest, the rights of nature, and allowing natural processes to occur. These two groups also believed that timber supply and the inclusion of multiple benefits in forest management are inadequate, that forestry is damaging the environment, and that the public does not have enough input in forest management. Professional foresters and PAG members were more supportive of manipulating forests for economic benefit and human use and generally had a more optimistic view of the sustainability of forest management.
