  • Emerging Issues in Forest Science

Other issues highlighted in this paper are forest health and forest genet- ics; forest modeling and operations engineering; challenges for mitigation and adaptation; public participation on decisions, research, and distribution of benefits; estimating ecosystem services, biofuels and biodiversity; societal issues, including health, food, poverty, urbanization, and lifestyle; educational change in structure and topics; and information and research administration. As forest science faced various challenges in the last few years, there is a need for interdisciplinary approaches and cross-sectoral collaboration. These interrelated and emerging key-issues, particularly climate change, biodiversity, bio-energy and water, are of strong interest to policy makers and groups inside and outside the forest sector. These will all be of high relevance to forest science and to IUFRO in the coming years, primarily for global collaboration.

  • Observe and Replicate Natural Patterns
    THE PERMACULTURE ETHICS Care of Earth Care of Humans Share the Surplus Respect Intrinsic Value THE PRINCIPLES OF PERMACULTURE from Bill Mollison & David Holmgren Observe and Interact The primary design tool is the designer. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Observation is a short way of saying, “Noticing the information coming from all your senses as they experience and interact with your environment, both inner and outer.” The root of this principle is the willingness to begin designing a culture based on co-creation with Nature, while acknowledging the limitations of our present cultural norm of separation from Nature. It is the willingness to Dance with Nature, learning when to interfere, when not to; learning where limitations and abundances exist, and when; and how to intermesh our human-ness into an ecosystem to meet our needs and help it work better for All. OBSERVATION PRACTICES: sit spot, meditation, breathing awareness, journaling, Nature Walks [learning about the flora and fauna that live around you], Herb Walks [learning about wild edibles and medicinals], learning tracking/hunting skills, learning about the movement of the constellations and the moon. Obtain a Yield You can’t work on an empty stomach. [and neither can anyone else] Definition of system yield: System yield is the sum total of surplus energy produced by, stored, conserved, reused or converted by the design. Energy is in surplus once the system itself has available all it needs for growth, reproduction and maintenance. As PC designers, we are creating “cultivated ecosystems” – cultivated to produce a yield of food, shelter, fiber, medicine, or other product/service useful to humans.

  • What Is Ecoforestry? – a Welsh Perspective Iliff Simey
    What is Ecoforestry? – a Welsh perspective Iliff Simey Summary Since writing ‘ Ecoforestry in a Welsh Woodland’ ( Ecoforestry, Summer 2002), I have participated in the implementation of an ecoforestry program in Walker Creek Forest, Oregon and, with the owner Chip Boggs and professional ecoforester Jerry Becker (Footnote 1), trekked in old growth ecosystems. Opportunity to experience this depth of insight is rarely available elsewhere and provided a unique perspective for the application of ecoforestry concepts at Walker Creek. I gratefully acknowledge the influence of this on the ideas expressed here. Experience from my Welsh woodland clearly demonstrates that it is precisely because this skill and experience are not generally available, indeed are unheard of, that prevents ecoforestry becoming accepted worldwide. It is the relationship of principles and practice that I see as crucial in defining a common approach. Here I suggest how this could be shaped and thus be relevant to my Welsh woodland. This article is not intended to define ‘Why’ ecoforestry, though this is inextricably linked with the question ‘What is’. It provides however a framework with which to stimulate debate that will I trust extend the understanding and application of ecoforestry. I deliberately avoid the use of technical terminology as being loaded with preconceptions which, applied to ecoforestry, can be misleading. The use of plain English is more thought provoking, essential in developing the concept of ecoforestry. When is a forest not an ecoforest ? Ecoforestry, by its nature, is a creative skill and a joy beyond anything found within conventional forestry. It’s never dull but a challenge to everyone, owner, professional, lumberjack and public.

  • Balancing Act Living with Fire in the Applegate
    Balancing Act Living with Fire in the Applegate Applegate Communities’ Collaborative Fire Protection Strategy Coordinated by the Applegate Partnership Sandy Shaffer and Jack Shipley, Project Coordinators Diana Coogle, Editor Applegate, Oregon August 2002 About the Applegate Communities' Collaborative Fire Protection Strategy a.k.a. THE APPLEGATE FIRE PLAN The Applegate Fire Plan is a collaborative effort, hatched from an idea that was developed jointly by local citizens and federal agency folks in the Spring of 2001. Due to wide-spread participation throughout the Applegate Valley, general project coordination was organized by the Applegate Partnership, a non-profit community- based group founded in 1992. Initial funding for this project was awarded via the National Fire Plan to the Applegate Partnership in October, 2001. This written plan is the result. The Mission of the Applegate Partnership The Applegate Partnership is a community-based, non- profit organization involving industry, conservation groups, natural resource agencies, and residents cooperating to encourage and facilitate the use of natural resource princi- ples that promote ecosystem health and diversity. Through community involvement and education, this partnership supports management of all land within the watershed in a manner that sustains natural resources and that will, in turn, contribute to economic and community well-being and resilience. The logo for the Applegate Fire Plan was designed by Greeley Wells. Applegate Fire Plan - 3 List of Partners The following local,
