To help releive a staff shortage, the school aquired two new professors, namely Mr. C. Benson and Mr. E, David, and it is hoped that they will enrich our program further with their expertise. With the abun ' ance of new students in the forestry curricu- lum this year, it is hoped that most of them walked away with many new found friends and good memories. For some, these hard-won moments were filed away along with the many others from previous years . Well the HARVEST ' 76 is finally complete, what with the long and arduous task of developing film, taking pictures, and soliciting firms for advertisinp behind, 1 want to express my thanks and appreciation to Hill Petrus , for developing most of the photographs including the individual shots of the grads vou see in this book, 1 also want to thank Steven Ward and Rick Durand for taking time out of their studies to do some photo assignments, I have had a great deal of pleasure in putting this book together as I found it a very rewarding experience. 1 hope you will all enjoy this year ' s edition and that this issue will provide some good memories of the past acedemic year as well as provide scue incentive for increased r ' evelopment in its future production. To all of you who helped and shared some of their time with me throuphout my years at Lakehead, my sincere thanks for having made the past four years one of the greatest in my life, Robert H. Rivard EDITOR, HARVEST 1 76 CHAIRMAN ' S REMARKS In this fifth year of publication of the Lakehead Forestry Harvest , we can look back upon many, significant changes in the School of Forestry since the publication of the first yearbook in 1972. Five years ago our staff was composed of 10 full time faculty members and four technicians. Enrollment in the School in 1971-72 had risen from 204 in the previous year to 234 students. In the current year, 18 full time faculty members and 12 technicians are undertaking academic responsibilities for a student enrollment of 459. The near doubling of staff and students in the period has necessitated the acquisition of additional offices, laboratories, and other facilities. This has not been accomplished easily, but, with the co-operation of the University ad ministration and faculty, we have succeeded in developing a school capable of offering professional and technicial forestry programs, the excellence of which has been recognized across Canada. During the year, Professors David and Benson joined our faculty. Professor David will enable us to expand our curricula and research activities in the region in Timber Harvesting and Forest Mechanization. A background of professional and teaching experience is enabling Professor Benson to make a valuable contribution in the teaching of courses in the degree and technology programs. In January, 1976, Professor Fedkenheuer left our faculty to accept employment with the Alberta government. We are engaged, - 2 - currently, in the recruitment of a replacement for him. Our technician complement was expanded, last year, when Miss Debbie Wickett joined us to assume responsibilities in the greenhouse and silviculture areas. At the same time, Mr. Greg Cowman replaced Mr. Trevor Woods ( ' 74) who assumed a full time position with the Ministry of Natural Resources. During the year, a committee of faculty members reviewed thoroughly our degree and technology curricula. The review was influenced, in considerable measure, by the recommendation made last year by our Forestry Advisory Committee. Significant changes were made in the forestry degree curriculum, including the addition of electives in year 2 of the program, and a new course, Organizational Behaviour and Administration in the third year. The report of the review committee was debated at great length by all members of the faculty of the School before it was finally approved. Forestry educators everywhere are experiencing increasing difficulty in accom- plishing satisfactorily the effective training and education of practitioners of modern forestry within the constraints of tolerable student course loads, an expanding number of core courses, and a limitation imposed by the actual time available for instruction which, in a four year program, totals only 24 months. The offering of a graduate program at the masters level has been an objective of our School for some time. Last year, the University Senate gave provisional approval to a proposed masters program in forestry, and, in December, we were visited by two appraisers, Professor Armson, of the University of Toronto, and Dr. Lafond, of the - 3 - University of Laval, who were appointed by the Ontario Committee on Graduate Studies to determine our ability to provide a program. At date of writing, it is probable that we will receive favourable reports from the appraisers, but approval of the program will depend upon the recruitment of additional faculty members and the authorization of funding by the provincial government. Viewed from a broad perspective, the forest scene in Ontario cannot be regarded as particularly inspiring. A prolonged strike by mill workers in the pulp and paper industry extending over a period of many months necessitated the termination of woodlands operations. This factor, coupled with the unfavourable economic conditions which have prevailed in the country, appears to be excercising a negative influence on the potential for both summer and permanent employment inforestry in the forest industry. Although the Ministry of Natural Resources has not yet achieved a satisfactory level of performance in the growing of the second forest in Ontario, it appears improbable that the recently imposed posterity measures in public measures in public spending will enable any significant advancement in the silviculture program. The reduction in the number of persons employed in the civil service, will, undoubtedly, adversely affect the recruitment of permanent staff by the Ministry of Natural Resources. During the next few weeks, the provincial government will be considering the budget proposals of the various ministries. It will be interesting to learn to what extent our gov- ernment is committed to forest management in Ontario when the estimates of the Ministry of Natural Resources are debated. - 4 - Although the forest scene, currently, is rather depressing, especially for students and graduates seeking challenging employment, there is no doubt that more challenging and stimulating opportunities lie not far ahead. The demand for all of the goods and services which can be provided from Canada ' s forests will continue to rise to progressively higher levels, and, within the next decade or two, we shall, at last, begin to feel the pinch of timber shortages in some parts of Canada. Clearly, major demands will be made upon the knowledge, experience, and ability of all who are engaged in forestry practices. It is the wish and hope of the staff of the School of Forestry, that each graduate in the classes of 1976 will find satisfying and challenging work in forestry, and that each one will contribute, directly or indirectly, to the progressive advancement of forestry practice in Canada.

The lectures started on a Thursday with Mr. N.A, Wiksten giving an overall view of the Swedish sisvicultural program and some of the philosophy behind it. On the Friday, Kr. J. Hermilin of the forest Extension Service, in New Brunswick, explained how Sweden follows a more active silvi- cultural program than we do in Canada and pave some of the reasons as to why they follow this course and some of the eouipment and materials they use in their programs. Mr, J. Ellingsen, of the Nova Scotia Forest Industries, which is a subsidiary of a Swedish Company, showed how a Canadial Company has adopted some of the Swedish Practices and adapted them to Canadian climate and topography. In the past, attendance of the Weyerhaeuser Series has been dismal hut this year the turn out was excellent. We hope the improved participation op the part of the student body is an indication of things to come in the following years, Weyerhaeuser Committee 197S-76 Forestry Symposium Glen McCleod, Paul Butra, Garth Potruff, Dave Geldard, John Marks, Andy Kenney, Roman Orynik GEE WHAT A BORE I ONLY HAD A TEENY WEENEY BIT — BURP— LUFA Executive LEFT TO RIGHT (FRONT ROW): KATHY STITTSCV1CE PRESIDENT), W1LMA COFNELISSON-(SECRATARY) , MAUREEN STAPLES-(TREASURER) BACK ROW: LEFT TO RIGHT WOLFGANG SCHWAN-C PUBLIC RELATIONS) , DICK HAGMAN-(SPCRTS) , TOM McDONCUCH-( PRESIDENT) , FRANCIS BENNETT , JCRDIE TAN2 tubent 76 D.J.
