Woodlot managers must be prepared to protect their livelihoods, which includes the threat of forest fires. This website contains Information about enrolling in a forest fire suppression course.
In the fall of 2009 and the winter of 2010, two workshops responding to the growing interest in non- timber forest resources were held in Nanaimo, British Columbia (November 6, 2009) and Truro, Nova Scotia (February 18-19, 2010). This report summarizes the main outcomes, lessons learned and key messages of those workshops and provides some suggestions for strategies that the Canadian Model Forest Network and its members could follow to support future development in the non-timber forest products sector.
A list of events for woodlot owners, including information about the forest ecosystem classification trainers' certification course, management techniques, chainsaw use and safety training, and sustainable woodlot management workshop.
Developed to provide basic fire suppression training that would enable first responders to safely and effectively manage forest fires. It is intended for members of fire departments, industry, community college students, and those interested in wildland fire fighting.
This Scaling School is primarily intended for people with previous training and/or experience in scaling. Candidates may write the Stacked Wood Scalers Exam and/or the Log Scaling Exam. Candidates who complete the written exams and practical tests to the satisfaction of the Board of Examiners (Scaling) and who obtain the required scaling experience, will qualify for a Stacked Wood License, a Saw log Scaling License or a Primary Wood Products Scaling License which authorizes the person to scale all primary wood products.
An integrated, stream of project-based design clinic courses through all four-years of the program provides students with the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills through working on real community and industry-based projects. Traditional content courses are delivered via an integrated and timely approach so that professional practice skills are developed in a simulated workplace environment.
