One Hundred Years of BCFS-CFS Collaboration
Author: Brian Peter
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Forest management
Languages : en
Pages : 26
Book Description
The British Columbia Forest Service (BCFS) and the Canadian Forest Service (CFS) have a long history of collaboration across a wide range of functions and topics. This includes research, technology transfer and extension, co-management and delivery of federal-provincial agreements, and partnering on national and international initiatives. As the BCFS approaches its centennial, it is interesting to examine the achievements that have come from this 100-year relationship. The nature of the various projects and initiatives undertaken over the years reflects the evolving nature of forest management, and the relative strengths of the CFS and BCFS have contributed to successful outcomes in many collaborative initiatives. Looking forward, we believe a continuation of CFS-BCFS partnering will benefit both institutions, and will help ensure management of BC's forests continues to balance the multiple needs of current and future generations.

Modelling Bioenergy Uptake in the British Columbia Fibre Allocation and Transport Model
Author: Bradley Kenneth Stennes
Publisher: Canadian Museum of Civilization/Musee Canadien Des Civilisations
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
To examine policy issues related to optimizing fibre use in British Columbia, the authors developed a regional transportation model for forest products in the province called the fibre allocation and transport model. In this model, the province is split into the British Columbia provincial forest districts, and the authors then define fibre supply, demand from processors, and final demand in each district as well as outside of the province. The main purpose of the report is twofold: 1) to describe the current structure of the model, and 2) to illustrate the types of questions that can be addressed with the model through an assessment of two scenarios where bioenergy capacity is increased.--Document.

Capital and Labour in the British Columbia Forest Industry, 1934-74
Author: Gordon Hak
Publisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774840048
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
The history of British Columbia's economy in the twentieth century is inextricably bound to the development of the forest industry. In this comprehensive study, Gordon Hak approaches the forest industry from the perspectives of workers and employers, examining the two institutions that structured the relationship during the Fordist era: the companies and the unions. He relates daily routines of production and profit-making to broader forces of unionism, business ideology, ecological protest, technological change, and corporate concentration. The struggle of the small-business sector to survive in the face of corporate growth, the history of the industry on the Coast and in the Interior, the transformations in capital-labour relations during the period, government forest policy, and the forest industry's encounter with the emerging environmental movement are all considered in this eloquent analysis.

The Case for Tall Wood Buildings
Author: Michael Green
Publisher: Blurb
ISBN: 9781366377418
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
This book describes a new structural system in wood that represents the first significant challenge to concrete and steel structures since their inception in tall building design more than a century ago. The introduction of these ideas is driven by the need to find safe, carbon-neutral and sustainable alternatives to the incumbent structural materials of the urban world. The potential market for these ideas is quite simply enormous. The proposed solutions have the potential to revolutionize the building industry, address the major challenges of climate change, urbanization, and sustainable development and to significantly contribute to world housing needs.
