The Future of Forestry: Sustainable Practices for a Greener Tomorrow - Selective logging for ecosystem preservation - Reforestation for forest continuity - Tech integration for efficient management - Community involvement in conservation efforts. What do you think about effective forestry practices?

Marking a pivotal moment for sustainable forestry practices and Indigenous stewardship of the land. We aim to unite Indigenous leaders, forestry professionals, environmentalists, and policymakers to explore the integration of traditional Indigenous knowledge with modern forestry management practices. https://lnkd.in/gVriANkn #IndigenousForestry #EconomicReconciliation

🌲 Understanding Climate-Smart Forestry: Early Successional Habitats Early successional habitats are young, newly established forests and are a key piece of the climate-smart forestry puzzle. Early successional habitats: ✅ Improve forest diversity, which in turn offers benefits such as protection against erosion and increased resilience ✅ Sequester carbon at a faster rate compared to mature forests ✅ Provide vital habitats for many insect and bird species At Aurora, we recognize the importance of early successional habitats in our climate-smart forestry approach. By managing for landscape diversity and incorporating young forest areas, we enhance carbon sequestration, support wildlife, and promote overall forest health.

Sustainable forestry means caring for and managing forests so we have them now and in the future. Check out our blog series where registered foresters share information about sustainable forestry practices & learn how they work closely with landowners to help manage their land for the long term. https://bit.ly/3TUu1Dm

Few people realize that forestry is an applied science, which makes forest professionals, the people who practice professional forestry, de facto 'working scientists' 🌳👨🔬 How forests were managed in the past is not how they are managed today, and not how they will be managed in the future. Forest professionals support this ongoing change. They are following science and adapting their practices to meet changing forest conditions for the betterment of forests and the well-being of every in BC.

The research [by Lincoln University (NZ)] involved surveys of all 16 regional councils or unitary authorities in 2021 and 2022 and the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI). The four regions seriously affected by Cyclone Gabrielle (Northland, Auckland, Gisborne/Tairāwhiti, and Hawke's Bay) were resurveyed in 2024. The paper found that regional councils had failed to systemically place more stringent rules allowed under the national forestry regulations to protect river, wetland and coastal ecosystems, and to effectively manage natural hazards exacerbated by forestry to protect human lives and livelihoods, and public infrastructure. Gisborne District Council was the only one to have taken a “strategic and principled” approach to develop more stringent regulations, such as tougher restrictions on clear-cutting, earthworks, and replanting and new forests on steep erosion-prone convergent landforms to protect aquatic ecosystems and vulnerable communities, the paper found. —- Kinda ironic that MPI’s director forestry system at Te Uru Rākau – New Zealand Forests Service, Olivia Sullivan said the NES-CF provided “appropriate regulatory settings for the management of forestry activities” while minister for pine plantations Todd McClay has just announced proposed changes to those rules that would remove the ability of local regulators to have policy settings that protect waterways, downstream properties, infrastructure and marine coastal areas. https://lnkd.in/gr7BDsDb
