Who we work with Canadian Forest Service Forging Strategic Alliances and Partnerships The CFS has built a solid reputation for its scientific excellence and its ability to forge strategic alliances and partnerships with a wide spectrum of forest stakeholders and partners. Its client groups and partners include provincial governments; other federal departments; forest industries; Aboriginal communities; academia; labour groups; private woodlot owners; and environmental, conservation and special interest groups. As a national facilitator, the CFS uses a partnership approach to effectively coordinate and integrate the environmental, social and economic values of Canadians to achieve sustainable forest management. The CFS will continue to forge strategic alliances and partnerships. For example, it will make special collaborative arrangements with the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers (CCFM) to meet the objectives identified in Canada's Framework for FederalProvincial/Territorial Cooperation in Forestry (1995), and it will work with the National Forest Strategy Coalition (NFSC) to develop and implement a renewed Strategy. The CFS will also work in collaboration with federal advisory bodies, such as the NABFOR, to ensure that CFS research programs remain focused on strategic national forest research needs, and it will work with FSAC to ensure that federal forest policy development initiatives address forest industry concerns and issues. "Committed to listening to our clients."
