Description

About the Canadian Forest Service The Canadian Forest Service is the national and international voice for Canada’s forest sector. We are part of Natural Resources Canada, a federal government department, and have an office in Ottawa and 6 research centres across the country. We collaborate closely with Canada’s provinces and territories to ensure our forests are sustainable and healthy for our country and the world to enjoy. Scientific research and policy leadership supports sustainable forest management and conservation The Canadian Forest Service provides science and policy expertise and advice on national forest sector issues. We promote: •environmental leadership in Canada’s forest sector •a visionary approach to sustainable forest management planning and policies •a science and research-based understanding of the forests One of our core mandates is to conduct scientific research on Canada’s forests. This research can be used to inform forest management planning and policy decisions and to assist the forest industry, the public and other scientists. Our scientists provide expertise and tools on topics such as forest fire monitoring, insect and disease identification, forest monitoring, climate change research, biodiversity, conservation, protection, industry innovation and more. Our policy analysts provide expertise in economic analysis, policy-decisions and planning as well as guidance on forest sector issues. The Canadian Forest Service also plays a critical role in enabling the transformation of the forest sector as it moves away from the traditional ways of the past toward a future focused on innovation and market diversification.
