Forestry Training Course Goal
Forest managers in Alberta apply wildlife conservation principles in all phases of harvest planning. The people who carry out those plans will benefit by knowing when specific practices are required, and why it makes a difference. Anyone who reads the Annual Operating Plan, or is given a forest harvest plan map and must operate according to the forest operating ground rules will benefit from this course.
