Developing Knowledge,
Delivering Results

The FIA Forest Science Program reflects the information needs and priorities of those who plan and manage British Columbia’s public forest lands.

The FIA-FSP funds:

• short- and long-term research to address issues related to sustainable forest management, improving timber forest growth and value, and Aboriginal science
   
• infrastructure maintenance and re-measurement activities on selected long-term research installations that support short- and long-term research projects
   
• a provincial forest extension program to deliver existing and new knowledge to practitioners.

Research proposals are solicited through an annual Call for Proposals that focuses on priorities set by the Chief Forester's Forest Science Advisory Committee (CF-FSAC).
