Forest
Health |
|
 |
In the boreal forest, there are many factors that affect the dynamic nature
of the forest ecosystem through creating disturbances. These include insects,
fungi, microorganisms,
and some plants and animals, both native and non-native species.
Saskatchewan Environment carefully monitors and, when appropriate, manages
these, always with the objective of maintaining the long term health of the
forest.

Forest Land Use Planning |
|
|
 How we all see forest lands varies considerably. We see it: as a place to
hunt, hike and fish; as an essential ecosystem for our healthy environment;
as a precious habitat requiring protection; or as timber resources, mineral
resources, fuel, manufacturing, and exports. All of these are important
visions of the forest that can be part of a land use plan.
