Title:
Effects of logging damage on tolerant hardwood yield.
Agreement Number:
CWFC2326-003
Agreement Value:
$310,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jan 16, 2024 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
Advance adaptive silviculture by testing, at operational scales, how season of harvest impacts stand yield. Understanding how harvest outside of the traditional winter harvest season affects stand dynamics is essential as climate change causes winter harvest seasons to become shorter and more unpredictable. This project will contribute to maximum logging damage thresholds which will ensure the forests remain as resilient as possible.
Organization:
Natural Resources Canada
Expected Results:
Technical report with updated projections of the impact of logging damage on tolerant hardwood yield. Field visits with partners demonstrating the use of RPAS to perform forest inventories. All code used to analyze data will be open source and accessible in a static repository. Final webinar and project summary to stakeholders.

Program Purpose:
The objective of the Forest Innovation Program (FIP) is to enable transformation in the Canadian forest industry. More specifically, the FIP will help drive forest sector transformation, sparking enterprises in their move beyond a dependence on commodity products toward value-added, high-value and specialty products – sustainably extracting the maximum value from the fibre resource. To achieve this, the FIP will facilitate and promote a value-chain approach that addresses innovation from the seed to the end markets and products in which the right fibre is matched to the right product.
