The
Research staff of the Northern
Interior Forest Region are located
in two offices - one in Prince
George and the other in Smithers.
The
mandate of the Regional Research
Section is to help provide
innovative solutions to high
priority problems in forest
resources management, and to promote
resource stewardship based on sound
scientific principles.
The
section has expertise in the major
disciplines of ecology, climatology,
geomorphology, hydrology,
silviculture, soils, and wildlife.
Training, consultation, and
extension services are provided in
all areas. Research staff stay
current in their areas by conducting
field experiments, retrospective
studies, and operational trials, by
maintaining contacts with their
peers and by being active members of
the general scientific community.
Most staff play active roles on
local, regional, and national
committees and are members of
professional societies.
Research results and recommendations
are passed on to the appropriate
areas through consultation, steering
committees and workshops, journal
publications, land management
handbooks, field guides, and
extension notes.
