Enhanced Forestry Program
Virtual Resource Centre

The Enhanced Forestry Program (EFP) contributes to sustainable harvest by making investments to grow higher quality second growth stands faster on lands available for timber production. These investments enhance the productivity of British Columbia's forests, while integrating social and environmental values.

Activities funded to date include improved silviculture planning, incremental silviculture treatments, reforestation of backlog areas, and forest health treatments. Other investments in alternative silvicultural systems, habitat, biodiversity, and adaptive management contribute to social and environmental objectives as well as to timber production.

The Ministry of Forests supports the EFP program by working with our partners to provide training, information, and tools to support more informed silviculture investment decisions.

This Website contains reports, training materials, software tools, and other resources to assist in the cost-effective design, implementation and monitoring of EFP incremental silviculture and reforestation projects.

Click on any of the EFP business areas on the left to find out what's available, or search for a specific training course or report from this page or any of the EFP business areas.

This website will be expanded to include other products. If you would like to be notified of additions, subscribe to the EFP e-mail distribution list.
