CMFN Launches New Website!

The Canadian Model Forest Network is pleased to announce the launch of its new website at www.modelforest.net.  We hope you’ll explore and enjoy our new look, features and functionality as well as our updated content!  We’ve incorporated several leading-edge programming tools to help us share news, information and knowledge with our members, partners and communities.

Enhancements include RSS Newsfeeds that enable users to browse and subscribe to the Latest CMFN and Member News, a publications archive and online document reader, a customized search capability that retrieves documents from our member sites, a gorgeous photo gallery featuring pictures from our members, an event calendar - and more!

Many thanks to everyone that has contributed to this project over many months, and a special thank you to the dynamic duo of Vince and Cindy Murphy, owners and operators of ProbaseWeb (a local Kempvtille firm) for stepping in over the past couple of weeks and working their magic to solve the technical, graphical and other challenges that enabled us to launch this enhanced website.  They went above and beyond in their efforts to provide us with great value and service, and demonstrated much patience, persistence and creative problem solving...

We welcome your feedback.

    Biomass Heating & Electricity Production: A Guide for Rural Communities in Canada

    Canada is a resource rich country, supporting a wealth of renewable and non-renewable resource industries. Canadians are stewards to a large portion of the world’s temperate and boreal forests. These forests provide a range of ecological services: from water purification and storage, erosion and flood control and air quality protection, to the provision of wildlife habitat. Forests also play a critical role in climate change mitigation, with Canadian forests sequestering an estimated 95 billion tonnes of carbon. Forests provide a range of economic values: from traditional forest products, recreational values and trapping, to the potential for energy production.

    Building on the strengths of your community

    Each Model Forest works regionally to promote the sustainable management of large forest landscapes through research, education and applied projects. Model Forests support forest- based communities by bringing together the information, tools and best practices needed to overcome obstacles and identify new opportunities. This guide was developed under the national Socio-Economic Indicators program. It is supported by a steering committee of CMFN members and partners from across the country.

  • Pathways to Climate Change Resilience

    This Guidebook and the accompanying Community Resource Collection has 
    been crafted based on the idea that Canadian rural communities in forest settings want guidance in
    understanding and acting to reduce community impacts from the changing climate. Collecting information
    and existing tools into a useful framework has been the first step for this initiative.
