Working Paper # 23 – Harvesting Methods in Canada’s Forests: A Discussion Paper (January 1994)

From 1991 to 1993, the NRTEE convened a round table dialogue on the Canadian forest sector. Following their work on sustainable forestry principles, members of the Forest Round Table undertook a broad discussion on the selection of timber harvesting systems. It did not prove possible, at a national level, to arrive at one document that would apply to the many site-specific situations that are found across the country. However, the NRTEE undertook to publish its own summary arising from their discussions as a way to increase understanding of different points of view on forest harvesting, and to stimulate discussion among people involved in and responsible for developing forest management plans and timber operating plans.
