- catalog abstract ""People from around the world have visited the foothills near Hinton in northwestern Alberta to absorb the land ethic of the company that took on stewardship of the area's publicly owned forests in 1954. Learning from the Forest is part history of the company (now called Weldwood of Canada, Hinton Division), part forestry survey, and part proposal for the future of silviculture -- the art and science of growing trees. From the outset, the managers of the Hinton forest recognized the challenges of managing forests whose life cycles are measured in centuries. Learning from the Forest describes the evolution of the forward thinking necessary to successful forest management -- from the 1950s ideal of ensuring a perpetual timber supply to today's goal of maintaining a forest that sustains multiple uses and values. In Hinton this includes the extraction of other natural resources; recreation, including public parks, camping, hiking, skiing, and canoeing; and the protection of wildlife habitat and Aboriginal cultural sites. Most important, Learning from the Forest tells of a work in progress and the continuous process of learning from the forest itself. Here is the story of the first fifty years of the journey. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.".
