Abstract:
Technology Transfer is defined as the dissemination of science information
and data to multiple audiences using a variety of communications media.
The theme(s), quantity and depth of content will change with the audience,
but will always attempt to meet specific, well-defined needs. The Forestry
Research Partnership (FRP) is making a concerted effort to continue the
implementation of a solid, well-planned technology transfer program that
compliments and builds upon the successes of its first year.
Objectives:
To deliver relevant forest science to operational managers, foresters,
planners, technicians, biologists, and many other industry related workers.
Other key target audiences include members of natural resources related
government and regulatory agencies, educators, the public and FRP researchers
themselves.
Location of Project Activities:
Sault Ste. Marie, Mattawa
Key Deliverables:
Intensive, well-packaged programs that synthesize science, technology,
and the strategies that will lead to the implementation of ecologically
sustainable and scientifically defensible leading edge forestry practices
in the area of intensive forest management. This will include the following
initiatives: enhancement of the website, demonstrations and tours, educational
programs and courses, and workshops.
Expected Benefits:
The timely transfer of forest science to forest practitioners will ensure
safe intensive forest management practices will be implemented by industry
leading to an increase in productivity.
