I'm so sorry, I missed the main part of my intro - Herbs intro! Here it is: Herb is a Registered Forest Professional and forest ecologist with 40 years of experience in research, industry, teaching and consulting. Herb has developed more than 25 ecosystem-based conservation plans across Canada and in other parts of the world. Herb is an award-winning author and is currently working on two book projects. One is about forests and our place in them, and Herb is looking to jointly develop the book with Indigenous partnerships.

Ecosystem-based Conservation Plan also known as Nature Based Plan, in case anyone wondered!

Does your vision of nature based planning accommodate intensive silvicultural zones primarily for timber production? Specifically in areas already disturbed by industrial-scale harvesting. As per Clark Binkley's 1979 paper Preserving nature through intensive plantation forestry. Also Gary Merkel and Al Gorley's Recent Old Growth review.

Q2: How do the group selection and single selection silvicultural systems that nature based management focuses on jive with regenerating shade intolerant species? Ex. western larch.

As someone teaching sustainable building, what advice do I give my students to help guide them toward wood products from systems managed through nature based planning? Do FSC-certified wood products come anywhere close?

Do you think there is any room for clearcut logging in Nature Based Management, such as in regimes dominated by fire

Herb, what do you think about SIFCO's "Wildland-Urban Interface management" here in the Valley? How well does it conform to your NBP philosophy? Thanks so much! ~ Marsh

What was the name of that book if you don't mind me asking I missed it

what mechanisms will allow BC to move towards a nature-based planning paradigm? How do you propose we reform / revolutionize the tenure system?

Sorry for the long link! That is the link to the next webinar event page.

(retract my question, seems like it will be covered in the next talk)

What about variable retention clear cuts (both dispersed and block) in fire dominated disturbance regimes? If that would be acceptable for nature based management, what percentage of retention would need to happen?

Thanks a lot Ill pick up a copy
