Summary
The Ecological Management Emulating Natural Disturbance (EMEND) Experiment is a long-term partnership between Natural Resources Canada, the University of Alberta, Daishowa-Marubeni Inc., Canadian Forest Products Ltd., the Government of Alberta and many other organizations. The experiment is exploring how western boreal forests can be better managed to remain economically viable but minimizing environmental impacts and maximizing resilience (recovery). The EMEND partners are in the process of developing a science synthesis that will highlight the state of knowledge and how it can be applied to improve forest management and development of new forest policies. Engagement of expert personnel at the University of Alberta, Department of Renewable Resources is needed to do this analytical and writing work.

Program Purpose (French)
Le projet de gestion de l'écosystème par émulation des perturbations naturelles (GEEPN) s'inscrit dans un partenariat à long terme conclu entre Ressources naturelles Canada, l'Université de l'Alberta, Daishowa-Marubeni Inc., Canadian Forest Products Ltd., le gouvernement de l'Alberta et de nombreux autres organismes. Ce projet vise à explorer comment mieux gérer les forêts boréales de l'Ouest de manière à ce qu'elles restent économiquement viables, tout en minimisant les répercussions environnementales et en maximisant la résilience (rétablissement). Les partenaires du projet GEEPN s'affairent à élaborer une synthèse scientifique qui soulignera les connaissances acquises et la manière de les utiliser pour améliorer la gestion des forêts et la mise au point de nouvelles politiques en matière de forêt. Il faut retenir les services de spécialistes du département des ressources renouvelables de l'Université de l'Alberta pour réaliser ce travail d'analyse et de rédaction.
