Abstract:
Objectives:
To develop and revise marten guidelines, and fire emulation guidelines
that will provide enhancements for the forest management planning process
in Ontario.
Location:
Red Lake, Kapuskasing
Key Deliverables:
Seven theses on forest management effects on vertebrates; revisions of
marten and fire guidelines ten to twelve scientific journal publications
Expected Benefits:
Revised marten and fire emulation guidelines will provide the forest manager
with better tools for decisions relating to forest management.
