Abstract

Withdrawal of productive forest for purposes other than timber production along with constraints upon logging to manage for other uses are tending to erode the competitiveness of the forest industry.To effect a practical integrated approach to forest land use management the following items are discussed.(1) The question of who pays the additional cost of management for uses other than timber production needs to be resolved.(2) The planning process requires strengthening particularly in the data base management at the field level.(3) Practical results-oriented scientific research reflecting the Ontario situation is needed to validate fish and wildlife guidelines used in the timber management planning process.(4) More co-operation and better communication between all disciplines involved in the timber managementplanning process is required. Key words: Wildlife Management, Timber Management Planning, Forest Economics, Integrated Resource Planning.
