The Changing Face of Forestry
Forestry has been the key to Canada's development in the past century ... (and) will continue to be equally important in the next one hundred years.
Predicting Forest Productivity
 CFS research takes
some pressure off forest managers by addressing the challenges
of precisely measuring current forest productivity, accurately
predicting future productivity, and measuring the influence of
variables.
Interview: Muhammed Nazir
Assistant Deputy Ministry, Department of Forest Resources and Agrifoods, talks about the dilemma of managing for all values and the role of the CFS in Canada's forests.
Flower Power
 A CFS Scientist has developed a
reliable, inexpensive method of significantly increasing seed
production in high-investment seed orchards.
Tapping into Fungus Resistance
Does the word ‘inoculation' make you shiver? Not CFS researchers. They're inoculating coastal Douglas Fir in B.C. to determine whether some are more tolerant to a parasitic fungus currently causing laminated root rot.
Making History
 Herbert W. Beall,
a CFS pioneer, talks about the challenges he and his
colleagues faced and the initiatives that made their mark on
Canadian forestry.
Life After Old-growth
 As second-growth forests
increase in number, CFS research is determining how to best
manage them using chronosequencing, a technique to examine
long-term ecosystem changes over a period of only a few years.
Mission: China
The Chinese government's recent policy reforms are opening up opportunities for international collaboration and increased trade.

Felling Old Notions
 What is a forest-dependent
community and how can we measure its well-being? A CFS
Resource Sociologist guides the process.
Farming Success
A CFS-administered program provides the perfect opportunity to test a novel approach to sustainable forests and communities in a forest tenant farm experiment in the Bas St-Laurent Model Forest.
DNA Evidence: Busting Tree Rustlers
 Tree
thieves beware! Dr. Eleanor White's research on DNA matching
could save industry a potential 75 to 150 million
dollars.
Sex and the Single Insect
 Pheromones are
being used by CFS researchers to disrupt the mating patterns
of the European pine shoot moth, an introduced pest that
attacks pines in Canada and around the world.
Gene Level Conservation
Land-use activities have sometimes reduced the genetic diversity of forest species. A CFS research scientist is part of a group identifying species at risk and developing gene conservation strategies.
The CFS's Most Wanted
 Canadians
dependant on healthy forests and a competitive forest sector
turn to the CFS to help deal with damage caused by exotic
insects.
Kindling Community Efforts
 Growing concerns
about fire damage to Canadian communities and commercial
timber have prompted CFS to help communities fight
back
Survey Says...Public Views on Forest Management
Surveys like this one, recently conducted by the CFS's Socio-economic Research Network, can help forest managers across the country understand public concerns.
