Forest Health
Forest Health, a component of the Silviculture Program, is responsible for the detection and quantification of forest health problems, and, where necessary, the prescription and implementation of protective or suppressive treatments to anticipate and prevent insect, disease and mammal damage to reforested areas and old growth stands. It also evaluates the effect of forest practices on forest health as these occasionally increase the risk of damage from insects, diseases and mammals.
