The Forest Science Section of the Southern
Interior Forest Region includes 18 experienced
professionals with complementary job duties in
consulting, research and extension in the
disciplines of soil science, plant ecology,
hydrology, geomorphology, silviculture, and
wildlife ecology.
Our headquarters are located in Kamloops, but
researchers are also located in Williams Lake
and Nelson. The broad geographic
distribution of expertise enables scientists to
conduct research that addresses local forest
resource and management concerns throughout the
southern interior.
The goal of the Forest Sciences program is to
conduct research that advances our understanding
of the effects of forest operations on a range
of resources and processes and to apply the
knowledge gained toward the development of
sustainable forest management policies and
practices in the southern interior.
Through strong links with practicing
professionals, other government agencies,
academic institutions, and the public, our
research focuses on questions of scientific
importance that also provides knowledge that is
operationally relevant. This, together
with our roles in consulting and extension,
gives us a unique perspective from which to
provide a credible scientific basis for sound
conservation and use of BC's forest and range
resources.
