ISBN:
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
The introduction to this publication defines a woodlot and the concept of woodland stewardship, and presents a private woodlot holder's perspective on the benefits of a woodlot to society. This is followed by a cross-Canada perspective of woodland stewardship, discussing the contributions of woodlots to Canadian life, the woodland community, the role of woodlands in agricultural landscapes & urban landscapes, the ecological services provided by woodlands, and an eastern Ontario initiative to implement a forested landscape network. The main section reviews woodland owners' stewardship activities in each province, with some information on woodlot ownership & size, forest products harvested from woodlots, and woodlot organizations. The final part outlines future challenges for woodland stewardship.
Forest Certification: A Policy Perspective

Book Description
This paper analyses the development of certification programmes in three countries (Indonesia, Canada and Sweden) using the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) as a theoretical reference point. The ACF is an actor-based framework for analysing policy processes and has not previously been applied in a developing country. Actors in the three countries took different approaches to certification. In Canada, in a programme development process supported by the forest products industry, a management systems approach was taken. In Sweden, performance standards were developed in a process initially driven by NGOs. In Indonesia, certification was led by an NGO within a framework established by government, and a performance standards approach was used. The paper concludes that forest certification can be best understood as a policy instrument that promotes and facilitates policy-orientated learning among actors, and provides indirect incentives for improved forest management. Learning occurs both as the standards to be used for certification are developed, and as they are implemented. The benefits of learning and consensus building among actors (such as NGOs, forest companies, private forest owners, indigenous peoples, governments, etc.) who have traditionally been in conflict with each other can be significant. On the other hand, where fundamental changes in forest policy (such as tenure and forest revenue reform) are needed, certification should not be seen as a substitute for these A further conclusion is that, while public policies change over periods of decades, the private policies of retailers and forest product companies can adapt more rapidly to changing circumstances. The concept of a ‘fast track’ of private policy change, compared to the slower track of governmental policy change, is therefore proposed and described. A number of interesting theoretical and empirical avenues for further research on certification are discussed.
