🌲 Happy National Forest Week! This year's theme, Two-Eyed Seeing, emphasizes the importance of integrating Traditional Knowledge with Western Science for sustainable forest management. By considering both perspectives, we can ensure the sustainable management of our forests for future generations. GIS is a powerful tool that helps make this collaboration possible. One way is through land-use planning, which considers Indigenous and biodiversity values in addition to economic opportunities. By leveraging GIS for informed decision-making, we can successfully manage our forests if we approach planning with a focus on tradition and technology. #NationalForestWeek #TwoEyedSeeing #GIS #Sustinability #Forestry #LandUsePlanning #IndigenousKnowledge #ForestManagement

Did you know we measure trees much like we measure humans for sewing clothes? Ever wondered how we measure trees? It all starts with DBH (Diameter at Breast Height), typically measured at 1.3 meters above ground level. This standardized method helps ensure consistent data collection across studies and locations. 📏 Once we have the DBH, we can calculate the tree's basal area and estimate its volume, which are crucial for forest management and ecological research. But it doesn't stop there! 🔍 To get a more comprehensive understanding, we measure the diameter at the base and at the top of the tree. This provides insights into its growth patterns and structural stability. 🛠️ Various instruments are used for accurate measurements, including diameter tapes, calipers, and laser rangefinders. These tools allow us to gather precise data essential for sustainable forestry practices and environmental conservation. 🌿 Next time you stroll through a forest, take a moment to appreciate the science behind these towering giants and the meticulous methods used to understand and protect them . #Forestry #TreeMeasurement #Ecology #Conservation #Science #linkedln

Digital Mapping & Technology is a great tool to show information 🌲
We've teamed up with the Forestry Commission to visualise the importance of forest resilience. 🌳 Our project 'Resilience' uses bespoke landscape models to illustrate the risks associated with poor tree species diversification. The visuals show how this can lead to vulnerable landscapes, susceptible to wind blow and disease. We've created striking visuals to demonstrate the positive impact of forest management. By transitioning to a diverse range of tree species, we can achieve a resilient landscape with increased biodiversity. 🌱 Our detailed 3D base model, created as part of this project, will pave the way for future landscape iterations and help inform sustainable forest management practices. #landscape #forestry #resilience #3Dmodelling #biodiversity

Doctor of Education at UBC - research on competencies in K12
3moThanks for sharing this Tory. I always enjoy your posts. Over this weekend a group of volunteers from BC Marine Trails will be hard at work clearing English ivy from Gerald Island, homesteaded in the 1840s, abandoned since the 60s and becoming overrun with ivy. After 5 years of organizing a clearing party in the spring and the fall we are seeing the sensitive coastal bluff landscape thrive and the trees are breathing easier again.
