2014 Summer Workshop CSC

The 2014 Summer Workshop of the Coastal Silviculture Committee was, once  again, a definite success. Held over two days, June 11 and 12, in beautiful Powell River, the workshop brought together 66 attendees representing multiple stakeholders in Coastal British Columbia: provincial government, licensees, forest contractors, researchers. Animated discussions took place at multiple stops in the TFL and the Community Forest.

Several issues relevant to cedar have been on the agenda: cedar management, variable retention, management for old-growth attributes, wildlife browsing and regeneration options. Participants assisted to a cedar bark stripping demo by our gracious hosts the Sliammon First Nation.
