2.  100km x 12hr x 4+ days  British Columbia – Newfoundland  4 187 821 km² Almost half of Canada

3.  63 %Coniferous Cone bearing  15% Deciduous Leafy trees  15 % mixed

5.  Commercial Profit Warmer, wetter Near roads, railways, waterways  Non-Commercial Unlikely to be cut down for industrial use North where temperatures are low, and trees hardly grow at all

7.  Boreal Forest Largest  314 877 ha total area Mainly coniferous  Soft wood trees  Black, white spruce, Balsam fir, Jack pine, cedar, Some deciduous  White birch, poplar Trees grow slow due to long winters and low precipitation

9.  264 060 ha  Stunted trees Thin soils, cool temperatures, short growing season, permafrost Coniferous  Black, white spruce, Balsam fir, Jack pine  Deciduous  Poplar, trembling aspen Only small parts logged due to inaccessibility

11.  Most productive forest in Canada Temperate rainforest on western slopes Abundant precipitation, moderate temperatures, long growing season  Douglas Fir, Sitka, Spruce, Western red cedar,  Highest volume of wood/hectare in Canada

13.  Lower precipitation Shorter growing season than WCF Smaller Coniferous Trees  Spruce, lodgepole, ponderosa pine 2 nd highest volume per hectare

15.  Longer growing season  More precipitation than Boreal Northern Areas: Conifers  Lumber, pulp and paper, hardwoods, maple syrup Southern Areas:  Maple, birch, black walnut, cherry

16.  1/16 jobs in Canada Depends on Forestry  Products produce $80 billion/year  Forestry industry provides 360 000 jobs directly Logging

17.  Most popularly used  Fastest and cheapest method  Replanting will allow for plants to grow at the same time  If replanting does not take, less desirable species may grow Soil erosion

18.  Clear cutting only part of an old-growth forest leaving behind seed bearing trees  Used in areas where trees have grown and aged evenly

19.  Harvesting trees that are: Mature Right size Right type Good quality  Less disruptive to forest environment  Costly Extra care and time No planting of uniform forest

20.  Pulp and Paper made from cellulose fibres found in wood Plants  Canada is 2 nd Largest pulp and paper producer  Found in every province except PEI  Mostly in Quebec, Ontario, and BC QuebecOntarioBCManitobaOther Provinces $11 993 Million $11 115 Million $6264 Million $549 Million $13 002 Million

21.  Lumber Raw cut timber, plywood, veneers, particle board, cedar shingles, chip board BC is Canada’s largest lumber producer Quebec is second Less money than pulp and paper industry QuebecOntarioBCManitobaOther Provinces $10 817 Million $8032 Million $5664 Million $623 Million $4987 Million
