The Forest Industry

Important Facts on Forestry Canada has 10% of the world's forests Canada has million hectares (ha) of forest and other wooded lands This represents 41.1% of its total surface area of million hectares

In 2003, Canada harvested million cubic metres of roundwood. Annually, Canada harvests 0.3% of its commercial forest area (1 million ha were harvested in 2002).

A total of 19.2 million ha were affected by insect defoliation in million ha were lost due to forest fires in 2004

In 2003, an estimated ha were planted with 509 million seedlings, and ha were seeded.

Revenues from the sale of timber from provincial Crown lands are estimated to be $1.4 billion in 2003

National Economic Importance The forest sector's contribution to the Canadian economy (GDP) was 3.1%, or $36.8 billion, in 2004 Direct employment was in 2004, or 2.3% of total employment in Canada: –wood industries, ; – paper and allied industries, –logging, –and forestry services, –Employment is spread all across Canada but is primarily in Quebec ( ) –British Columbia (79 800) –and Ontario (94 300)

National Economic Importance Canada's forests are the engine behind an industry worth about $80.3 billion. In 2004, shipments of pulp and paper reached a level of 31.2 million tonnes, (an increase of 1.7% from the previous year.) Production of softwood lumber was 82.7 million m3 in Tourism related to Canadian forests also provides a boost to Canada's economy.

International Importance In 2004, Canada was the world's largest forest- product exporter (17.3%). Forest products were a major contributor to Canada's surplus balance of trade in 2004 ($34.4 billion). The total value of Canadian forest-product exports increased by 12.6% in 2004 to $44.6 billion. British Columbia accounted for $14.7 billion (33.0%); Quebec, $11.9 billion (26.7%); Ontario, $9.0 billion (20.1%); and other provinces, $9.0 billion (20.2%).

Commercial Forest Forests with trees that can be harvested profitably Exist in warmer wetter areas (why?) Near transportation…water, rail, roads

Non-Commercial Forest Unlikely to be cut down for industrial use Northern tips of forest regions where temperature and precipitation are low Trees grow slowly or not at all Too far from markets and transportation to be economical

How do you harvest the forest?

Three Main Types of Logging Shelterwood Logging Shelterwood Logging Selective Logging Selective Logging Clear-Cut Logging Clear-Cut Logging

Shelterwood Logging Clear cutting only part of an old growth forestClear cutting only part of an old growth forest Seed bearing trees are left standing so they can regenerate the logging areaSeed bearing trees are left standing so they can regenerate the logging area

Selective Cutting Harvesting only mature trees of the desired size, type and qualityHarvesting only mature trees of the desired size, type and quality Costly because of time and care takenCostly because of time and care taken

Clear-Cutting Very Fast method of logging Very Fast method of logging Cheapest form of logging Cheapest form of logging Every tree is removed, barren landscape is left behind Every tree is removed, barren landscape is left behind Many negative environmental factors associated with clear cutting Many negative environmental factors associated with clear cutting

Sustained Yield Policy? This means that the volume of trees cut per year should year should equal the volume of wood grown. (more trees must be planted than cut) Re-planting area – 3 to 5 years old.
