The West Arm Demonstration Forest--rising to the challenge
1999
Smith, J. | DeLong, D.
The 13 500 hectare West Arm Demonstration Forest near Nelson in southeastern British Columbia was founded in 1992 by the Ministry of Forests in response to public concerns over conventional forestry practices in their watersheds and viewscapes. It has the objectives of demonstrating the latest concepts in landscape level planning, silvicultural systems and public participation. The forest is home to many agency and academic research projects aimed at analyzing the effects of these new concepts on many forest values. As well, the forest is required to produce an annual harvest of timber for the B.C. Ministry of Forests Small Business Forest Enterprise Program. This mix of objectives provides a unique challenge for forest managers, researchers and the local public.
