Lakehead University Forestry Association - Yearbook (Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1979 volume:

UNIV LE 3 AtSS EDITORIAL What is ' forestry ? I know, it ' s something about ... an art and science ... using available technology ... to produce ... benefit of man. , and I won t argue the definition, but perhaps there ' s more. Forestry is more than an industry, a science, or even a profession. Forestry is a lot of things to a lot of people, and in that train of thought may I introduce the theme this year of Forestry is and to usher us through the book is our friend from the cover (or was it the Wayland) Lu Forester. Lu Forester however, like the rest of this book, is a creation, and I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the people who helped create Harvest 79 . Sheri Walsh was this years ad manager, coordinating all advertising activities, writing numerous letters, making phone calls, sending out invoices, as well as taking pictures and selling books. Helping Sheri with advertising around town were Bev Shaw and Mark Stevens who went door to door through Thunder Bay ' s business sections. On the production end of the book, Rohn Solecki put in countless hours taking and developing pictures, coordinating and doing lay-out, and ' kicking my ass ' to get things done. Rohn knows all aspects of yearbook production and will undoubtedly make next years book the best yet. Also helping with the production of the book were Ed Paleczny doing a lot of photography, Randy Collier working on lay-out and again Mark Stevens working his butt off on lay-out, ideas, and sales. I would also like to thank Ramune Beresnevicius for the creation of our surreal cariature, Lu Forester . There were many other people who helped on the book to varying degrees, and I thank them although space does not permit their mention on this page. I would also like to thank our sponsors for their advertising, since a yearbook is too expensive to be made solely on sales. I hope you enjoy our book. To the people who bought ' this years model ' , I hope you find it satisfactory. To those who didn ' t buy a yearbook, I hope you will indulge in one next year. Remember, we put the book out for you! To this years graduates I extend the best wishes for the future from the whole yearbook staff, and to those still working towards a degree or diploma, I offer my condolences. Once again I would like to thank everyone involved with this book, it really looks good. Remember, Forestry is ... our business! Paul Adkin, Editor. 2 YEARBOOK STAFF Sheri Walsh, Ad Manager Mark Stevens, ads and layout ... and then there ' s the one about the editor who forgot to get his staff ' s pictures, only it ' s not funny! Missed but not forgotten are: Rohn Solecki, photography. Ed Paleczny, photography. Randy Collier, layout. Bev Shaw, advertising. Helen Sallans, photography. Mike Millard, dancing (disco?). and Paul Adkin, editor. Thanks also to Al Banner, Al Brailsford, Scott Forrest, Steve Knowles, Shannon Stone, Jordy Tanz, Karen Wilkens, and everyone else who contributed photos. LEFT: Ramune Beresnevicius, graphics. Lu Forester ' s mum . L.U.F.A. REVIEW LUFA activities started with ' shit hitting the fan ' the second day of field school. You guessed it, degree II was initiated, but a week later there was sweet revenge on the first years! The academic year was highlighted by our various activities beginning with a forestry dominated Shinerama, followed by the Kam-am canoe race, the corn roast (with real corn), the Softball tournament, the Weyerhaeuser Lecture Series, the tubing party (with non-alcoholic cider), Ski Nite, Symposium (a tremendous turnout (sic) ), the Woodsmans Competition (LU 1 calling passionate lady), the Hockey Tournament, and finally awards night. Due to the changing nature and expectations of students, we conducted a LUFA evaluation. The result was the initiation of a careers night and the tubing party. The course evaluations have been completed, and are in the LUFA office for all to see. In conclusion, I wish to thank all the people who have worked hard to make this year a success, and encourage e veryone else to come out and see what goes on. Try it, you may just like it! I hope to see everyone next year. James McPherson, President. LUFA EXEC ABOVE: Fiona Donald, Secretary. LEFT: Terry ' Scuzzy ' Quennell, sports coordinator.

There is now, in Canada and beyond, a much wider public and political recognition of the need for greatly in- tensified efforts in the rehabilitation and planned management of our forest resources than was apparent a few years ago. In October, l ( 78, the 8th W orld Forestry World Congress was held in Jakarta, Indonesia. Participants from 104 countries and 14 international organizations received and discussed papers and reports on a wide range of forestry subjects and issues, and at the conclusion of the Congress recorded the following declarations: The Congress, with a grave sense of urgency, stressed to all Governments that time is running out and that unless effective measures are taken immediately forests will be unable to make the future contribution to mankind of which they could be capable. The Congress noted that the world human population is increased by 70 million people, annually, and recorded that: If present trends continue and potential demands materialize, there is a prospect of a serious gap between the worlds needs for industrial and other wood products and the capacity of the world ' s forests to supply these and other essential goods and services. This gap can only be avoided if the shrinkage of the forest areas is halted, if natural forests are properly managed, if harvesting is more complete and more efficient, if there is subsequent full and prudent use of all products harvested, and if large areas of successful plantations are created and intensively managed. The Congress called on all foresters to reaffirm their total commitment to resource conservation, resource reneival and resource expansion. Early in 1979, the Honourable Len Marchand, Federal Minister of the Environment, stated that: Canada is facing a shortage of wood. Roughly 12% of Canada ' s productive forest land is inadequately stocked ivith trees and about half a million acres are being added to this backlog annually. Moreover, the second growth stands, following logging or fire, are often poorer in quality than the stands they replace. Annual losses to fire, to insects and disease equal half the commercial harvest in volume. The existence of a serious, regeneration gap was formally recognized and discussed during conferences convened by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources early in 1978 and again in 1979. The problem of insuring the establishment and management of high quality second forests on cut-over and burned areas in Ontario has been a concern of the forestry profession for a number of years. That this problem has finally engaged the attention of our provincial politicians, and that it has been accorded an improved priority rating in public spending plans are encouraging. Within the past few months, the federal government has committed itself to the expenditure of about a half billion dollars for the modernization of pulp and paper mills and for the rehabilitation, development, and management of public forests in a number of provinces. Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia will participate, and contribute provincial funds, for the advancement of these programs. Beyond these en- couraging, immediate stimuli for forestry in Canada, we can anticipate that as energy costs continue to rise there will be beneficial results for forestry. The substitution of wood for metals in construction of all kinds, the increased use of wood itself for energy generation, and the prospects of increased utilization of all species and of all parts of trees can be anticipated. In sum, I believe that we shall see abundant opportunities for challenging careers in forest management in Canada within the next few years. I believe, too, that the practice of forestry, in contrast to that of simple timber liquidation, will provide full opportunity for the effective exercise of the knowledge and skills which our gradutates have acquired at Lakehead University. On behalf of all members of the faculty and staff of the School of Forestry, I am pleased to have this opportunity to record here our wish and hope, and, indeed, expectation that each graduate of the classes of 1979 will find satisfying and challenging work in forestry, and that each one will contribute directly or indirectly to the advancement of forestry practice in Canada.

Feasibility of Forest Production North of the 50th in Ontario The Weyerhaeuser Lecture Series, November 1978, featured a few sur- prises for everyone. If nothing else, we learned that the forest is more than an array of trees, it ' s people! At least thats the opinion of Mr. J.E.J. Fahlgren, commissioner of the Royal Commission on the Northern En- vironment, our first speaker. Our second speaker was Mr. G. Brown, Regional forester stationed at Kenora, who highlighted unique aspects of timber management north of the 50th. Behind the scenes preparations were greatly enhanced by the assistance of K.W. Hearnden and his secretaries. Hats off to these people! Many thanks to all those who helped on the committee, your support was greatly needed and appreciated. Special thanks to Frank B. for putting me in the drivers seat. David Lindenas Chairman I feel ill. P.S. Good luck in ' 79 ' WALL-EYE ' ! SYMPOSIUM SPEAKERS, Left to Right: R. Forester, J.

POETRY THANK GOD I ' M A FORESTER! (Sung to Thank God I ' m a Country Boy , John Denver) Well life in the bush is kinda laid back, Ain ' t much young foresters like us can ' t hack; Late to leave, and early to get back, Thank God I ' m a forester! Workin ' in the bush never did me no wrong- Raise me a jack pine workin ' in a bog- My days are all filled with a drizzle and a fog- Thank God I ' m a forester! Well, I got me steel toes and a really hard hat, I got me a red pine or something like that; Could be a spruce or it could be a fir, Who cares— I ' m a forester! When the works all done and the sun sets low, I press my plants and I feel kinda low; Left them three weeks but the prof ' ll never know, Thank God I ' m a forester! Well, I wouldn ' t trade my trees for diamonds or jewels, I never was one of them money-hungry fools; I ' d rather have my compass and my measuring tools- Thank God I ' m a forester! Well, I got me steel toes and a really hard hat, I got me a red pine or something like that; Could be a spruce or could be a fir, Who cares-I ' M A FORESTER! ! ! !

A black spruce, a tree of the future. A product that sub stantially increases a forest ' s yield per unit , of land area. And meet ' s Man ' s growing 7 demand for forest-related products. • ( il% :S Today Ontario ' s Ministry of fl, Natural Resources is testing and devel- ' = jj oping healthier, hardier seedlings. And I the seedlings we are producing are part of 4 our new provincial Tree Improvement s. f Program. But there ' s more to increasing a % forest ' s yield than developing seedlings. We ' ll soon be signing Forest Management ; Agreements with all our pulp and paper com- panies. Industry-the harvesters -will be partici- pating in replanting cutover areas. We hope this will streamline and increase regeneration. These new agreements also include incentives to improve forest utilization -plus site preparation, planting, tending, and forest plan- ning that takes into account wildlife, recreation and local needs. Our recent Ontario Conference on Forest Regeneration in Kapuskasing provided answers to the problems of regenerating black spruce - the backbone of our pulp and paper industry - and also produced a new provincial program for using carefully-controlled fire to prepare thousands of acres for replanting. Then there ' s the government ' s commit- ment to a healthy woods-industry and Northern Ontario. A $100-million incentive program has been established to help pulp and paper mills modernize and control pollution. And Ontario is matching federal funds to help companies construct access roads. Where will all this work, devel- opment and legislation lead us? ; | By the year 2020, we hope to ; provide Ontario ' s forest industry with nearly one-billion cubic feet of wood annually. Our goal is to regenerate 400,000 acres each year, in addition to the acres naturally regenerated. Right now, we ' re work- ing toward that goal. In 1977 we reforested 159,000 acres. And last year we reforested al- most 180,000 acres, a 13 percent increase over ' 77. But we still have a long way to go. Government, industry and conservationists must work hand-in-hand to ensure more productive yields. We must build a forest industry capable of handling future needs. We must help nature grow a stronger, superior product. Like our little black spruce, the supertree. Ministry of Hon James A c Auld Minister Natural o „ n Dr. J. K.
