Aboriginal Forestry and Indigenous Science Cluster
The Aboriginal Forestry and Indigenous Science team is a group of three extension specialists working in the areas of Aboriginal Forestry, Indigenous Knowledge and Science. The goal of this cluster is to provide extension services that assist our clients to access research-based information and link researchers and practitioners to resources that will bridge gaps in the human dimensions of resource management areas such as: community development, culture, values, public involvement, aboriginal forestry, and indigenous science. The cluster is guided by the Aboriginal Forestry Working Group.
The Socio-economics Extension Cluster provides extension services that assist our clients to access research-based information and link researchers and practitioners to resources that will bridge knowledge and skills gaps in the human dimensions of resource management areas such as: economics, community development, culture, values, public involvement, public preferences, and climate change impacts on human systems. The cluster is guided by the Socio-economics Extension Working Group.
The Knowledge Management Cluster works in the area of Information and Knowledge Management. The goal of this cluster is to provide extension services that assist our clients to access research-based information and link researchers and practitioners to resources that will bridge gaps in information management. The cluster is guided by the Natural Resources Information Management Working Group.
The overall goal of the Ecosystem Management and Conservation Biology (EMCB) program is to promote the conservation of biodiversity in British Columbia ecosystem, by using the principles of ecosystem management and conservation biology. The program strives to maintain healthy ecosystems and species populations within their historic ranges, at appropriate temporal and spatial scales, to achieve a long-term sustainable balance between society and the natural world.

The Forest Resources Dynamics team is a group of six extension specialists working in the areas of early stand dynamics, ecosystems and stand management, forest operations, and ecosystem productivity. The program’s goal is to provide extension services that link stand-level practices with landscape-level planning while considering the environmental, social, and economic concerns that affect the future of the forest stand. The cluster is guided by the Forest Resources Dynamics Working Group.
The goal of the watershed management cluster is to increase the use of science and innovation in watershed management. As a result of this cluster's activities, there will be increased awareness and knowledge of the natural conditions of coastal and interior watersheds, of current research results, and of the effects of watershed management. The cluster is guided by the Watershed Management Working Group.
