TRAINING OPPORTUNITY
Position: Ecological Forestry - Short Course, Employment & Volunteer Opportunities
Organization: Community Forests International http://www.forestsinternational.org
Location: Sackville, New Brunswick
Dates: Aug 2 - 6, 2010
Community Forests International has been learning and
practicing a middle path between the conservation of wild
lands, and the clear-cuts of industrial logging.
Understanding that humans need to balance their approach to
nature, Community Forests International has been working to
foster relationships where human incomes and forest products
are provided while the integrity of the working and healthy
forest are valued and maintained.
While learning and growing as an organization, Community
Forests International has been in contact with some
remarkable stewards of the forest, and has drawn on the
experience of some of Atlantic Canada's finest practitioners
of ecological and conservation forestry. The wisdom
Community Forests International has gained while spending
time with those that have lived and learned from the forest
for generations has prompted the development of a short
course to extend a variety of skills and a forestlands
philosophy to others in Canada and abroad.
>From 2-6 of August, 2010, Community Forests International
will be offering their first Short Course in Ecological
Forestry in Sackville, New Brunswick. If you've spent the
summer planting trees, and are interested in learning about
a more natural process of forest restoration, or if you've
just purchased a woodlot and want to sharpen your skills,
this course could be the one for you. The course will cover
native plant and tree identification, chainsaw use and
maintenance, the principle of ecological, restoration and
conservation forestry, sawmill operation, wildcrafting and
timber framing. Please see the full course outline and
