During the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, Canada demonstrated international leadership in environmental stewardship by launching one of the world’s largest experiments in sustainable forest management. The Canadian Model Forest Network continues to bring together organizations with diverse views on how forests should be managed. With core funding and leadership from Natural Resources Canada’s Canadian Forest Service, this diversity of opinion and spirit of collaboration has advanced the knowledge and practice of sustainable forest management. Model Forests include among their partners forest industry, environmental groups, woodlot owners, academics, Aboriginal communities, parks, government agencies, recreational groups, trappers and anyone who has an interest in sustainable forest management. Together, these partnerships address the challenge of balancing the extensive range of demands placed on forests today with the needs of future generations.
