useful resources related to the Coast Forest Region Research
Section. The following is a brief
description of just some of the
links provided:
The Coast Forest Region Research
Section is a member of the
Forest Research Extension Partnership
(FORREX) (formerly known as the Southern
Interior Forest Research and Extension
partnership). This cooperative organization
was renamed to reflect its expansion
to encompass the coastal area delineated
by the Coast Forest Region boundary.
Funding for the research conducted
by members of the group comes from a
variety of sources. Research project
funding is based on ministry base funding
and the
Forest Investment Account (FIA).
FIA is a provincial government mechanism
for promoting sustainable forest management
in British Columbia. The
Forest Science Program is one of
seven areas of FIA investment and is
administered by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Other funds partially or wholly external
to the ministry e.g.
South Moresby Forest Replacement Account
(SMFRA) also provide funding for projects.
