Model Origins

The construction of STIM began in 1990 in response to the need for additional growth models in B.C. Dr. Mike Bonnor from the Pacific Forestry Center and Dr. Jim Flewelling, a forestry consultant from Kent, Washington, led STIM development with the endorsement of the B.C. Forest Productivity Councils and the Ministry of Sustainable Resources' Terrestrial Information Branch.
