Government is committed to managing our forest resources in a prudent and sustainable manner. Public participation is an important component in forestry management and has become a pre-requisite in the development of all forest management plans in the province. Government remains committed to its public consultation process and working with all stakeholders to achieve a balance between protecting our forestÂs ecological integrity and ensuring the future of our forest industries.
The Forestry Act requires the province to update its 20-year forestry management plan every five years. The Forest Resources has completed a new Provincial Sustainable Forestry Management Strategy document, which is being released for a 60-day public consultation process. The general public are encouraged to review the draft Strategy and its summary document. The Department welcomes views and comments from all interested stakeholders and the general public, which will be considered before the Strategy is finalized.

Forestry, Agriculture and Watershed Management
Forests and other woodlands cover approximately 45 percent of the country, mostly areas of rugged terrain such as the Blue Mountains and the Cockpit Country and dry, hilly uplands of poor soils in the southern, western and northwestern parts of Jamaica. Few large areas of virgin forest exist in Jamaica, and most of the forest or other woodlands are comprised of ruinate or second growth. There are five main types of forests: the limestone forests of the John Crow Mountains, central and western Jamaica; the predominantly shale forests of the Blue Mountains and Port Royal Mountains; the alluvial and wetland forests of the coastal plains; dry limestone forests in the southern part of Jamaica and, the anthropogenic forests (forest land altered by the action of Man e.g. to create pine plantations). Of the 26 identified Watershed Management Units, 19 have been declared critical, i.e. they have been determined to be very degraded and in need of remedial work to return to an acceptable state of health. Land that should have remained under forest cover has been cleared for other uses, e.g. coffee production, that are not compatible with soil and water conservation. Furthermore, the forest cover has been under serious pressure for the production of yam sticks, charcoal, resort and residential development, timber extraction, grazing and cropping.

"There's 27 million trees in Oregon," says Ken Cummings, a chief forester for Boise, Idaho-based Boise, who oversees 300,000 acres of the company's timberlands. "This year the wildfires burned up about a million of them." Just 40 miles from Cummings' Medford, Ore., office, the Timbered Rock fire, one of hundreds to rage across the Western states this summer, is mostly contained, though Cummings speculates it won't be completely out until winter. "We lost 9,100 acres," Cummings reports of the more than 25,950 acres burned by the fire. "We're shifting operations over now and all logging will be salvage from burned timber for the rest of this fall and almost all of next year." According to Cummings, the destruction amounts to a 9,000-acre dear cut, compared to the state-mandated 120-acre cut size in Oregon and Boise's own average cut size of 40 acres.

Forest Ecosystem Management Plan Executive Summary
City of Boulder
Forest Ecosystem Management PlanThis draft Forest Ecosystem Management Plan takes an holistic approach to restoring and nurturing essential natural forest ecosystem components and processes and to reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfire. In addition, the plan is comprehensive, grounded on the best available science, long-term in focus, and geared to managing across ownership and agency boundaries.Given how far existing forest conditions have diverged from natural presettlement conditions, the proposed forest ecosystem management plan is essentially an ecological restoration program. Major restoration objectives include:
Restoring forest structure and function.Restoring the diversity of plant and animal habitats and communities.Restoring a natural fire regime, which involves frequent low-intensity surface fires. Restoring a natural fire regime will reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire and help maintain more natural forest ecosystem conditions.

II. Forestry Management Measures - A. Preharvest Planning Management Measure
Perform advance planning for forest harvesting that includes the following elements where appropriate:
Identify the area to be harvested including location of waterbodies and sensitive areas such as wetlands, threatened or endangered aquatic species habitat areas, or high- erosion-hazard areas (landslide-prone areas) within the harvest unit.
Time the activity for the season or moisture conditions when the least impact occurs.
Consider potential water quality impacts and erosion and sedimentation control in the selection of silvicultural and regeneration systems, especially for harvesting and site preparation.
Reduce the risk of occurrence of landslides and severe erosion by identifying high-erosion-hazard areas and avoiding harvesting in such areas to the extent practicable.
Consider additional contributions from harvesting or roads to any known existing water quality impairments or problems in watersheds of concern.

Search Nature Conservation and Forestry Management in Germany The area that is now Germany was originally almost entirely forested Ã¢ÂÂ only extreme locations like moors and mountain tops were treeless. Today woodlands occupy only just under a third of the country and are mostly used for forestry. Under natural conditions, the dominant tree in Central Europe is the beech. Depending on the soil and local climate other species can also dominate: sparse oak forests develop in warm locations, often harbouring valuable, heat-loving flora and fauna. Dry areas, or areas low in nutrients tend to be populated by pinewoods, while fir and spruce trees grow at high altitudes in the mountains. But man has radically changed the forests. Today the largest connected woodlands are to be found in minor mountain ranges and in regions with low-yield soil. In all, forests cover 10.8 million hectares. Clearing first took place in the Neolithic Age. Large-scale operations began in the Middle Ages. At times over the last millennium the forest was used much more intensively than it is today Ã¢ÂÂ it served as grazing land for domestic animals, tanneries gathered oak bark, and the demand for wood was at times high. The result was excessive felling leading to destruction of the forest. In the 18th and 19th centuries the forest managers reforested large areas with spruce and pine trees, since these extremely undemanding trees coped well on the soil that had been drained of nutrients. In addition, the spruce tree produced a good yield of wood in a relatively short time. Today it is the most common type of tree in Germany.

Forestry: Management
Current Situation
Mississippi has about 18.5 million acres of forestland, which amounts to about 62 percent of the state's land area. Almost 70 percent of this forestland is owned by private, nonindustrial landowners, with more than 150,000 people owning 20 acres or more of forestland. Each landowner may have a different set of forest management objectives, so management decisions should be tailored to the needs of the landowner as well as the objectives and capability of the land. Mississippi has highly productive forests because of good soils, a long growing season, and abundant rainfall. These highly productive forests, combined with recent increases in timber prices and a high percentage of private ownership, result in forestland ownership being a significant family asset. Mississippi's forests are funding children's college education, providing for people in their old age, and enabling a lifestyle many would not have had otherwise. A key to successful forest management is a written management plan in which landowners define their management objectives, inventory their current forest resources, and plan activities to accomplish objectives consistent with existing resources. The management plan, once developed, should be followed unless conditions warrant changes. Thus, a management plan is a "living" document that landowners are constantly developing, implementing, reviewing, and revising with appropriate professional advice.
