Policy and Practice Project Team
The Policy and Practice Project Team evolved from the Alberta Forest Growth Organization. It provides its members with a venue for discussing and addressing forest management opportunities and challenges.
The overall aim of the project is to advance the goals of the Provincial Growth and Yield Initiative (PGYI) by pooling FGrOW member data into an association-wide database that supports the development and validation of growth models. The permanent sample plot database will provide a storage facility for members’ data, support advanced analytics and modeling, as well as accommodate the future data and knowledge requirements of FGrOW members.
