Program Purpose:

The Ecological Management Emulating Natural Disturbance (EMEND) Experiment is a long-term partnership between Natural Resources Canada, the University of Alberta, Daishowa-Marubeni Inc., Canadian Forest Products Ltd., the Government of Alberta and many other organizations. The experiment is exploring how western boreal forests can be better managed to remain economically viable but minimizing environmental impacts and maximizing resilience (recovery). The EMEND partners are in the process of developing a science synthesis that will highlight the state of knowledge and how it can be applied to improve forest management and development of new forest policies. Engagement of expert personnel at the University of Alberta, Department of Renewable Resources is needed to do this analytical and writing work.
