Outcome:
T

The focus will be on understanding how the system is used in the field. Participants will get a
brief introduction to forest soils and plants. Participants learn enough background material to be able
to effectively function during the next two days of the Landform and Soils workshop.
T
he Implications of Landform and Soils on Silvicultural Decision Making workshop will allow
participants to explore the relationship between landform, soils, forest cover and productivity.
The focus will be on the impact that substrate has on silvicultural decision making. Ken Armson uses
an exploratory approach where student are asked what they see in the stand, examine soil pits and then
discuss their findings in light of options for management.
Registration is strictly limited to 30 persons and we do anticipate a full house.
Preference is given to those signing up for both workshops.
There is no refund after June 13th, and no guarantee of an opening after that date.
