The
WNMF is not just a spot on a map. We are partners in Sustainable
Forest Management – a group of diverse environmental
stakeholders working together to advance sustainable environmental
and forest management, both in our province and beyond our boundaries.
Our partners
represent industry, government, academia, recreational, environmental
and economic development groups. We all have a stake in the future
of the forest and our environment. The Model Forest brings these
stakeholders together to share their views and opinions, and to
make good management decisions.
Working Together
Our partners
work together to achieve balance in forest management planning,
allowing them to reap social and economic benefits from the forest
while protecting its environmental sustainability and biological
diversity.
Since 1992,
our partners have been actively involved in a wealth of projects
spanning areas including wildlife protection and research, forest
infrastructure mapping and inventories, environmental biodiversity,
domestic and commercial wood harvesting, socio-economics, recreation,
management planning, education and communications. Our work has
generated an impressive suite of research, forest management tools
and models, and educational modules that have enhanced sustainable
forest management in Newfoundland and Labrador.
