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.
A database of applied silviculture and G&Y study summaries
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.
