Our Forest explores historical aspects of Northeastern forests and explains early forestry practices. North America's First Nations people had a special connection with the forest. With the arrival of fur traders, and later, European settlers, the rich supply of timber assured the region's importance in shipbuilding and timber exports. Our Forest highlights the series of six videos, Our Forest, Our Future. This series explores the use, management and harvesting of the forest as well as some of the more difficult questions pertaining to forestry. To conclude, many career opportunities associated with the forest industry and the skills necessary for employment are examined. |
