provincial forest policy.

THE PRESIDENT'S REPORT
It is upon the close of this academic year that I became
reminiscent of my term as L. U. F. A. President. Though apathy seemed to
take an early foothold in the year, the unfounded accusation that Forestry
students as a whole had assumed an artsy attitude was quickly relinquished.
A remarkably successful orientation rite at Kangaroo Court and an October
Beef Bash was all that was needed.
Participatory wise, the Shine rama proved immensely that
lived up to its tradition of always coming out on top. The
bottle drive for United Appeal, even under the adverse conditions, surprisingly showed earnest drive.

The subsequent Social Nite and November Dance were also
undoubtedly enjoyed. The true wealth of belonging to the Forestry sect
continued into a Winter Carnival that would have fizzed without restoration
of carnival spirit (i.e. - the Tech I sculpture) by us.
Other involvements of the year such as the Annual Symposium,
a Germany field trip, and guest speakers added much to such a
short but eventful year.

Football 7-0 by scoring a single point and an unconverted
touchdown by Bob "Goose" Stoddart late in the game Saturday the
23rd. Phys. Ed. did have a good offensive attack but with some
tough breaks,
a few bad snaps and Forestry's ability to capitalize on
these mistakes, Forestry wound up on the long end of the score.
Forestry, you might say, is "numero uno". This Forestry 1 football
team has accumulated over 60 points in 4 games and allowed only
one point to be scored against them. This makes up for a little
revenge for the case of beer we lost in the volleyball game on
Thursday night which we lost by a point. The game played Saturday

WOODSMEN'S COMPETITION
The annual Woodsmen's Competition was held in the first
Saturday of Carnival Week. All contestants were in fine form from
the Forestry "Pisser" the night before. It is safe to say the event was
a success with five teams competing and ample spectators. Competing
were Degree II who came first, Geology who came in second, our
woodsmen's team who showed up third, and of course, the Jock Straps
and nurses who came in 4th and 5th respectively.
Even though the nurses came last, they were the best
cheered and most watched team competing. Good form was shown by

GERMANY FIELD TRIP
This was, by no stretch of the imagination, a success
story. A group of eight students and two professors attempted to set
up a field trip for the third year degree and the second year technician
students to commence on May 1st, 1972 and end on May 17th. In all,
46 people would have enjoyed an experience that few others in their
field have had the chance to.
The trip was to consist of viewing Management logging and research areas in European settings.
The major drawback was raising funds. The federal
government turned us down saying it was too specialized a trip, and
provincial government was willing to give us only a third of what we
asked for.

The Second Annual Symposium was entitled "Forest Policy in Ontario". Three aspects were
discussed, Timber Licencing System, Sustained Yield Policy and Regeneration Policy. Three of the speakers
were from Toronto. Mr. Leo Vidlak, a faculty member, was a speaker under the Regeneration Policy and
later became engaged in some lively discussion. Dr. W. G. Tamblyn, President of the University, spoke on

The Symposium this year discussed "Production Potential and Management of Under Utilized

proceedings can be seen on the following pages. Many thanks for the excellent press coverage by Messrs.

Attendance has risen from 130 in 1969 to over 200 this year. The Symposium is gaining
recognition in Northern Ontario forestry circles as government and industry employees come from as far as
Cochrane and Blind River to the east, and Kenora and Red Lake to the west. Interest has grown in leaps
and bounds. All chairmen of the Symposium have received many favourable comments from those attending
and especially the speakers who are amazed at the fact that the students run and finance these large
symposiums. Lakehead Forestry is a new school without an established reputation. In the minds of those
who control the hiring of new graduates, student participation is important. Participation in the symposium
is an excellent way to show this interest.
In organizing the symposium, just one person puts out a lot of
his personal time as has been the case for the last two years. We need greater student participation beginning

Mr. Ennis suggested that separate contracts and a piecework

economically better than other
sources of chips. Mr. Ennis concluded his talk by stating that
presently 61% of the wood required in Minnesota is filled by
total

��THE MAKEUP YEAR
(To be sung
to the tune of
"Casey Jones Steamin and a Rollin")
Come all ye Foresters if you want to hear,
A short story on the makeup year,
From Forest Tech I we advanced with pride,
20 men did and 40 men died.
To theory and books we advanced with greed,
Only to better ourselves, take heed,
The schedule scrambled, the english was rough,
Cause a rose is "Rosa blanda" to a Forester tough.
The course that we took in the Calculus line,
Kept us a-working on overtime,
But with a pretty little Prof - ette explaining all the time,
We discovered the mathematics of a curved line.
Against the wishes of the A. M.S.
We cal-cul-ated the strain and stress,
Of snow for a sculpture that was to be the best,
But somehow it never beat the weather test.
Gone are the days of the field survey.
Looking back at those days they seem like play.
But growing in experience this I know,
That our education won't melt away with the snow.

FORESTRY DEGREE II BROOMBALL
The Forestry Degree II broomball team was plagued by a rather
weird misfortune of too many players showing up for the games.
This
handicap of continuous line shuffle was why we just missed the playoffs.
The final record was 3 wins, U losses and a tie with a determined
Phys. Ed. team who needed a win for a first place finish.
The most
promising line was the scooter line of Aho, Jewiss and MacGillivray.
Lots of relief was supplied by Woods, Lagdzin, Kaczanowski, Sedor,
Stott, Thompson, Thomson, Austin, and Riley.
by Campbell, Nichols, Maki and Mcllquham.
Strong defence was supplied
Holding the fort was Goba.
Most games which we won were after pre-game warmups at the Royalton.

Team II, a first year team, played good hockey all season and were
the only Forestry team to have a good shot at the championship.
The
team played very well as a unit and was assisted by some great defensive
work by Mike DesjalTdins.
The fellow from the east end, Allen Raman,
should be nominated for an academy award for his performance in their
last game of the season.

the consolation league after thrashing Forestry III in the semi-finals.
Forestry III cleared the bench in the last minute and still couldn't
score a goal on Gary "reflex" McKellar who took over for G. Cowman who
retired the pad's halfway through the season to take on an offensive
role on the team.
Leading scorer on Team II was Gord "sticky stick"
LeMaistre, and this season, Dave Ried and Bob Mitchell after four years
in intramural hockey finally got their first goals of their careers.
Team III had steady performances from the goaly, Paul "stingy"
Jewiss and the line of Aho, MacGuillivray and Olson.

Of the four teams presented above only Team I made the playoffs
this year.
After a season of 8 wins, (5 by default) and 1 loss, the
team not having played for seven weeks lost two in a row in the playoffs.
The offensive punch was maintained by the Two Terrible Thompson'
and Paul "the Jew" Jewiss.
Burt Kemp when called upon showed some
startling moves under the basket and some of the "Jocks" were left
standing there without any.
Team II led by Pete "the streak" Copi3, John "Dunker" Marchingtcn
and Dan "Baseline" Readman managed 3 wins and several near misses.
Better luck next year Tech.
Team III the sleeper team came through with several wins at the
start of the season but seemed to fade away towards the end.
This was
the first year team and it looks like they are in for better times
(maybe next year, or the year after, or the year after that... etc.)
Team IV was slapped together with some spirit and hope.
Half way
through the season they ran out of bottled spirits and their hope
disintegrated, so they dropped out of the league.
Despite this they
received steady performances from Ray "Hookshot" Rivard and waiter
"Fats" Palubiski.
Dave Ried had a little trouble dunking, but also
played a steady game.

Jim Flash Myers was the top scorer for Forestry with 15 goals and
15 assists for 30 points.
Jim ended up in third in the scoring race.
Good show guys and better luck next year.
SQUALLEYBALL
Bill Murphy, Roger Brown and G. Cowman were Forestry representatives
in the squalleyball tournament. Squalley ball is something like volleyball only you can play the ball off the walls of a squa3h court. It's
a good fast game, so fast in fact each team only played one game and
the season ended. Forestry won it's only game played so we can claim a
share in the squalleyball championship with three other teams.
SUMMARY
I would like to thank all those fellows sho participated in the
71-72 sports program.
We didn't win much in the way of championships,
but we had a lot of fun doing it.
We can, at least, take consolation
in the fact that we are second to none in spirit and second place
finishes
A special vote of thanks should go out to the coaches and managers
for getting their teams up for most of the games and also for those
ardent few who showed up to the games to cheer their teams on to...
well, cheer them on, anyway.
Next year with a full four year degree program and many stars
returning, the road to a championship for Forestry is nearly at an
end.

P-S. As an added note. At the S.A.S. Dinner dance on Friday March 24,
we were told that we had 47% of the fellows in Forestry out to play
one sport or another throughout the year. As a result we were pre-
sented with the Faculty participation Trophy,

Winter Carnival 1972
Winter Carnival this year as we all know was changed from the
traditional schedule of events.
The Carnival windup ball was dropped
as an end to the festivities and replaced by a bandarama which turned
out to be very popular.
The King Prince, Princess Contest, the Snow
Sculpture and the parade were also dropped as officially sanctioned
A. M.S. functions.
The Prince and Princess contest eventually was picked up and
sponsored by the Geology Club to whom we owe thanks for showing some
spirit.

Lakehead University's first group of degree foresters enters the world

with only a few months devoted to practical forestry work.

�Chairman's Message
This edition of the Lakehead University Forestry Association's year book
must be regarded as one of potential historic value marking, as it does, the
graduation of our first class of foresters in 1973.
In 1948, our forest technology program was initiated under the direction
of the late C. John Campbell.
Few who were then associated with the develop-
ment, directly or indirectly, anticipated that it would become the progenitor,
25 years hence, of a full-fledged forestry degree program.
In the latter con-
text, it is appropriate that there be recorded, here, the name of John W.
Haggerty.
Professor Haggerty was intimately associated with the development of
the School of Forestry for more than 20 years until his death in August, 1971.
His unflagging aspirations and efforts towards the establishment of a forestry
degree program at Lakehead University were realized in 1971.
In April of that
year, the Ontario government authorized the University to provide such a program,
and to grant the degree, Bachelor of the Science of Forestry.
The reputation of any educational institution depends upon its graduates.
In the past quarter of a century, our School has been well-reputed through the
competence, zeal and ability of the graduates of our forest technology program.
The challenge before the forestry degree graduates of 1973, then, will be to
bring to professional practice an untiring determination to improve Canadian
forestry.
By endeavouring constantly to carry theory into practice, they will
reflect creditably upon themselves and upon the School of Forestry.
In behalf of the faculty and staff of the School,
I
am pleased to express
our best wishes to the Technology and Degree graduates of 1973 for challenging
and satisfying careers.
To the members generally of the Lakehead University Forestry Association,
I
must convey the appreciation of the faculty and staff for the patience, good-will
and co-operation which were manifested under the difficult conditions of the
1972-73 academic year.
We have been assured that substantial increases in faculty, staff and space
will be authorized for the School for 1973-74.
These benefits will enable further
improvements in our courses and programs to meet the growing challenges of forestry
in a post-industrial society.

���WHAT IS THE FORESTRY POLICY OF ONTARIO?
Amongst a majority of members of the forestry profession, doubtless, there
is a general assumption that a sustained yield policy has been adopted in the
province and, on the evidence of increasing silviculture activities and rising
expenditures in the past five years or more, that the policy is being effectively
implemented.
Since 1964, for example, outlays of public money on silviculture
have gone from $2,000,000 to more than $5,000,000 in 1971, and statistically,
at least, the annual reports of the Minister of Lands and Forests reveal in-
creases in acres treated, units planted and so on, commensurate with these outlays
.
If one should seek to find in the public record an unequivocal declaration
of the policy of Ontario in respect of forest lands, one which is known to and
supported by all political parties, and which has been defined in all its implications, both immediate and long term, for all of our citizens, he may have
some difficulty in finding any more substantial basis for the activities
mentioned above than the casual interest of the government of the most prosperous
of the ten provinces.
The Crown Timber Act
,
which is taken to be the legislative embodiment of
provincial philosophy and policy towards public forest lands makes no mention
of sustained yield.
Although a "management plan" may be required of a licencee
this, alone, is no assurance that such plan will be little more than an inter-
esting academic exercise, or, as has been too often the case, simply a long term
timber liquidation projection, in which unaided, beneficent natural processes
are offered as the basis for the establishment and growing of the next forest.
The Act provides that the "Minister may enter into" regeneration agreements
with licencees to promote and maintain the productivity of cut-over areas.
Here,
there has been a significant growth in activities and here, perhaps, can be seen
a confirmation of the dedication of the government to the principle of sustained
continued
�.
yield.
Beyond these provisions, however, the Crown Timber Act would seem to be
intended principally to ensure the orderly disposal of public timber, and for
the collection of dues, fees, charges, and penalties.
The support of our provincial government for sustained yield forest
management, whether assumed or implicit, appears to be most generous, perhaps
even embarrassing to some who are responsible for the expenditure of some part
of the public silvicultural largesse
,
but that support might well be examined
in the light of apparent provincial priorities
,
as revealed in the programs and
expenditures in other areas of the public realm, and in the extent to which the
full needs of an effective forest management program are being met.
Six years ago, the Forestry Study Unit estimated a need for the commitment
of $8.1 million to silvicultural programs by 1970, or approximately $3 million
more than were provided in 1971.
During the discussion on the estimates of his
Department in the Legislative Assembly, in 1971, the then Minister of Lands and
Forests acknowledged that current regeneration programs were inadequate and
confessed that he was unable to obtain a large share of funds from the public
purse for them.
It seems that other programs in the public domain were deemed
to be of greater importance.
These, doubtless, included the $25 million ex-
travaganza in Lake Ontario, "Ontario Place", and the recreation of various
provincial "heritage" sites at costs of some millions of dollars, such as old
Fort William, on the eroding banks of the Kaministiqua River.
Looking beyond the grosser aspects of public spending, at the silvicultural
program in particular, one is led to speculate as to the quality of regeneration
work being undertaken when he learns that, although the silvicultural budget has
increased by 2.5 times in the past seven years, no increase in the complement
of professional foresters in the employ of the Department of Lands and Forests
has been permitted since 1962.
Although a substantial portion of the increased
regeneration program was intended to fall .under the direction of cooperating
continued
�licencees, it is a fact that the initiative and responsibility for the planning,
design, and general supervision of projects remained with the Unit Foresters.
That the average Unit size, in the North, is approximately
1
million acres may
be sufficient indication of the extent of the responsibility assigned to these
people, and it may be inferred, of the intensity of management to be provided.
In considering this issue of forest policy in Ontario in the light of
actual experience across the past few years, one is inclined to speculate that
the policy is in reality one of expedience, perhaps best expressed as, "you
liquidate, we regenerate, where possible, and to the extent that funds may be
provided."
Indeed, in the past several years, there has occurred a shrinkage
in financial support for silviculture, and this has imposed stresses and dif-
ficulties at all levels.
Nearly 20 years ago, the Sixth British Commonwealth Forestry Conference adopted a resolution on Forest Policy, portions of which follow:
"1.
That the attention of all Commonwealth Governments be drawn to the
great need for a continuous and stable forest policy.
2.
That those Governments who have not yet formulated and published a
statement of their forest policy be urged to do so without delay, and
that all Commonwealth Governments be urged to take action to implement
their forest policies."
A forest policy, the Conference agreed, should aim at, "The protection,
conservation, and sustained yield management of sufficient areas of forest land
to ensure the maintenance and the improvement of the protection functions of the
forest, particularly in relation to soil and water supplies."
In discussing the necessary steps towards sustained yield, a Conference
committee stated that the attainment of adequate restocking of cut-over areas
by natural or artificial means should constitute "the first charge on the re-
continued.
�.
venue obtained from the harvesting of the crop."
Is it not time in Ontario, 106 years after Confederation, and after more
than 60 years of the presence and influence of professional forestry in the
province, that there should be on the public record a clear, comprehensive,
unequivocal statement of forest policy?
The existence of such a statement
would be a stronger basis for support for the needs of an effective sustained
yield forest management program, surely, than the present policy, if it exists,
which seems to be heavily shrouded in ambiguity and highly susceptible to the
vagaries of political climates.
Upon our profession, ultimately, rests the responsibility for the design
of a provincial forest policy which our legislators will recognize and adopt
as the indispensable foundation for the creation of a living heritage for future
generations

below zero as in some previous years, it was warm enough for pretzels and beer.
Nights were something else, with many people dropping in to say "hi" and
enlighten our spirits.
The night fire often flickered on into the early morning
as the "coffee" drinkers stayed on.
This year the campout went co-educational
with four girls deciding to try their camping skills overnight.
One of the
many highlights was the snowman, in typical forester stance, which received
much public attention.
On the last night the fire department was brought to
the ready when they noticed great flames on the horizon.
The fire chief came
by to check it out, and upon spying our merry group dancing and drinking decided
to leave us and the fire in peace.

Some fifty erect souls showed up to start, but only

Symposium
L.U.F.A.'s successful Fifth Annual Symposium presented contemporary views
on the Future Role of Forestry to a large audience of professional foresters
and students.
Five speakers representing different areas of Forestry in government
industrv and consulting services were originally engaged to speak but bad
weather closed airports in Northern and Southern Ontario keeping two of the
speakers from attending.
Given only twenty minutes notice, Mr. Lou Ringham,
Assistant Deputy Minister agreed to represent the Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources
Though they were unable to attend, Mr. W. W. Hall, a Consultant Forester

Industries Association; and Professor K. A. Armson, University of Toronto.
At the end of the lecture portion of the program, the Chairman of the 1973
Symposium Committee, Don Roy, adjourned the Symposium to the Ontario Legion
for an excellent dinner.

Thanks should go to all those who tried

There were two other

twice and lost to Physical Education twice.
Next year we'll keep up the
practices and maybe win another championship other than hockey.
One highlight of the season was an exhibition game plaved against Lakeview

SUMMARY
The biggest indication of how the sports program was enjoved this year,
was in the fact that Forestry again won the Participation Trophy.
Of all
trophies presented at the Awards Dinner Dance, this is the most prestigious
as it shows the Faculty with the largest participation in all sports throughout
the year.
Next year, along with this trophy, we should be able to come closer
to taking the Competition Trophy which is given to the Faculty with the most
wins in all sports.
The Dinner Dance put on by the S.C.A. is a galla affair
and all should partake of the celebrations, so next year
I
hope to see more
Foresters at the Banquet.
Thanks again to all participants, and referees for making 72-73 another
big year for Forestry in Sports.

Chairman's Remarks
The year 1973 was a "mixed-bag" of challenges, difficulties and accomplishments for our School.
I
am pleased to have the opportunity to comment upon a number of matters which reflect the nature of
that "mixed-bag" and which may be of interest to the readers of this Year Book.
In general, the position of the School, as against that of one year ago, was marked by a
further improvement in staffing, space and facilities.
Looking back two years, to the time when the
Provincial government authorized the granting of the B.Sc.F. degree by Lakehead University, it is
clear that, in that period, the School has experienced a remarkable growth rate.
In 1971, a
full-time faculty of six, together with one technical assistant, provided forestry
courses to a student body of 180.
The School controlled laboratory and office space totalling
approximately 6,000 square feet.
During the current academic year, 14 full-time faculty members and 4 Sessional Lecturers are
assisted by nine Technical Assistants.
Our secretarial staff, too, has been increased to meet the
Office, laboratory and special purpose space assigned to the
growing requirements of our staff.
School was expanded to 17,500 square feet.
Enrolments in the Degree and Technology programs
totalled approximately 355 at the time of this writing.
The growth of the School, thus far, has been accomplished in a period of declining enrolments
elsewhere in the University, and of serious budgetary problems, the effects of which have been
experienced by all departments, including those which are enjoying rising enrolments.
Although we
have been able, thus far, to acquire and develop additional laboratories and offices without a
serious impact upon other departments, it is now clear that our total space requirement for 1974-75
of approximately 30,000 square feet will not be satisfied without the surrender of substantial areas
now controlled by other departments.
The alternative, of scheduling evening and Saturday sessions in
the laboratories currently available to us, would be regarded as unacceptable to both staff and
students,
I
have no 7 doubt.
Here, then, is a major problem with which we shall be struggling in the
J
next few months.
The recruitment of experienced, well qualified forestry instructors is another matter of concern
to us, and, indeed, to all of the professional
ability to provide
schools in Canada.
Although we have now the cap-
full range of basic courses for the degree and technology programs, we must

strive to expand our faculty to reduce the excessive course loads carried by the staff and to
develop new courses in such areas as forest hydrology, land use planning, and forest recreation.
Beyond these needs,
I
might mention that the initiation of
a
Masters program, as now planned for
11975, will depend upon our having additional staff to assist in this program.
During the spring, an Accreditation Committee of the Ontario Professional Foresters Asso-
ciation visited the University, and spent two days in discussions with us, and in an examination of
our facilities.
We were gratified to learn, ultimately, that the Association authorized the
accreditation of our Degree Program.
Late in the summer, representatives of the six professional schools in Canada met at Laval
University to form the Association of University Forestry Schools of Canada.
It is our hope that,
through the efforts of the Association, increased federal, provincial, and industrial support for
Canadian forestry education will be stimulated.

It is my hope and expectation that the opportunities for the practice of "modern forestry", as

our laboratories and lecture rooms to improve forestry practice in Canada.

RECOLLECTION OF AN OLD FORESTER
When a man has been working in forestry for over fifty years, it is time to look back and to
himself "What have you achieved?" After surviving the first World War, graduation "cum laude"
seven years of service in private forestry, I was appointed Senior Manager-Forest-master.
Like
other young forester I had more enthusiasm than experience, was very critical of anything old
was determined to change and improve everything.
That very week of my appointment, Mother Nature brought me adversity to challenge my
arrogance.
An unprecendented hurricane destroyed the timber equivalent of four allowable annual
cuts in our forest.
This event was the introduction and herald of my future stormy life.
Salvage of the devastated stands, sales of the rapidly deteriorating timber during the worst
of worldwide depressions and reforestation of the devastated areas was completed within three years.
What I learned from this disaster was invaluable.
I realized how little I knew about forests
and forestry and from then on, I never met anyone from whom I could not learn something.
In particular, this catastrophe convinced me that mixed, unevenaged stands were more resistant
to climatic and biotic incursions than were monocultures.
On my management unit 35%-40% of the
allowable cut had consisted of salvage fellings (e.g. dead trees, blowdowns or trees damaged by
insects or disease).
After the consistent, systematic improvement cuts of the first ten years,
salvage fellings never exceeded 5% of the annual cut.
At the same time I began the conversion of
spruce and pine monocultures to mixed stands, using strip, wedge or patch shelterwood systems.
Occupation of Czechoslovakia by the Nazis and the outbreak of the second World War made my work much
more difficult but my operations went on.
Although three times arrested by the Gestapo, I survived the war and in 1945 medals for
leadership in the antiNazi underground movement.
Promotion in the Czechoslovakian army followed.
My happiness did not last very long. After the Communist 'putsch' in 1948, I was accused of
collaboration with the Nazis and with a little bit of luck I was able to escape to the West.
The period since my arrival in Canada in January 1951 can be accurately and briefly described:
'from a 50<fr an hour labourer in a nursery to honorary professor of forestry'.
In concluding this brief dossier, I would like to tell my young colleagues - both students and
graduates - that the present situation of Canadian forestry is far from perfect but not quite
hopeless yet.
Don't blame others for this bad and sad situation.
You are young and you can change
it.
Good luck!

�EVOLUTION OF SILVICULTURE IN ONTARIO
by
J. F. Flowers
Regional Forester, M.N.R. (N.C. Region)
Silviculture is the key to a successful and well-managed forest.
Silviculture
has always been recognized by Ontario's forestry profession as the keystone to
sound management of the province's vast forest resource.
Unfortunately, it has
not always been possible for the profession to function as it would wish.
In this modern world, decisions are often largely controlled by economic rules
or rather economic considerations.
Initially, silviculture as such was given little
consideration in forest management; the main emphasis being placed on the economic
extraction of the specific species or products required to meet the public demand
of the times.
The forest was an obstacle to man in many cases and was "unlimited"
so it was not considered necessary to worry about regeneration.
are not made to criticize those who made these decisions.
These statements
They were appropriate to
the times and the higher priority of opening up and developing the country justifiably
took precedence.
This situation existed until after World War II although at the turn of the
century foresters were recognizing the need to reforest lands already cleared as
evidenced by the establishment of the first forest tree nursery in 1908.
The major
emphasis in the succeeding years was the planting of abandoned farm lands in Southern
Ontario.
Little consideration was given to the regeneration of areas harvested in
Northern Ontario.
In fact, many of the central Ontario forests which were "highgraded'
for specific species or products often regenerated satisfactorily due to the pseuedo
shelterwood system used.
of inferior quality
-
The species were, of course, the result of chance and often
at least in relation to the species demand of the time.
We are,
of course, now seeing demand reaching a level which tends to equalize the value
of the various species.
�Following World War II, a major change took place in the management of Ontario's
forests.
The first major forest inventory in the world based upon aerial photographs
was instituted and the province moved to establish forest management units through
out the province.
This move set the base for an expanded management program although
the initial emphasis was to develop allowable cuts and operating plans aimed primarily
at extraction.
At this time, it was legally the responsibility of the forest industry
to manage and regenerate those areas under license.
This approach did not prove to
be too successful and in 1962, the Crown Timber Act was revised and regeneration
became the responsibility of the Department of Lands and Forests.
From 1950 to the present has seen a gradual but ever increasing expansion in
the regeneration efforts of the now Ministry of Natural Resources.
During this period,
the ingenuity of Ontario Foresters and Technicians showed itself in the development
of numerous site preparation and regeneration techniques.
Many of the techniques and
equipment developments are now used in other Canadian provinces and in the United States.
As might be expected, the major emphasis during this period has been on artificial
regeneration, primarily planting with 1,020 million trees planted between 1951 and 1973.
In the late 1950' s, there was a move to the artificial seeding of jackpine from the air
and ground.
Generally, these efforts proved successful and started field foresters to
thinking how they could utilize the jackpine seed always present in the slash following
cutting.
trials.
The exposure of the mineral soil had been proven a necessity by the seeding
There were several fairly simultaneous field developments in different districts.
In Geraldton, they first tried scarification by pulling large poplar trees behind a
bulldozer; the next step was to pull large boulders and then oildrums filled with concrete
with pieces of railway track protruding from the sides.
It was a short move from this
to the finned barrels which have become a standard piece of equipment.
Other major
pieces of site preparation equipment which were developed by field foresters at that
time were the tractor pad and spiked anchor chain which is now the standard unit for
scarification of jackpine cut-over for natural regeneration.
�In the east and south, planting machines were an important part of the
artificial planting program with machine modification combined with a large V
blade which allowed very rough and brushy areas to be successfully treated in
this manner.
The need for mechanical regeneration techniques was seriously
recognized in 1970 with the establishment of an equipment development unit under
J.
Scott at Toronto.
Various pieces of equipment from all over the world have
been purchased for testing but the main effort has been to develop a tree planting
machine capable of planting under most field conditions.
Although still in the
prototype stage, the Mark II Ontario Planter will go operational in the 1974
summer season with three in Ontario and four in the U.S.A., purchased by Weyerhaeuser
for use on their vast holdings.
It is hoped that this machine will make it possible
to plant areas successfully without the heavy demand for labour required by
conventional hand planting.
Most parts of the province are experiencing increasing

difficulty in obtaining adequate labour to meet requirements.
preparation techniques are in use or being developed throughout the province and
with the expanding silviculture program required to adequately regenerate the vast
acreage which is being harvested and which will continue to expand in the future,
this trend must continue.
In 1973,
the Ministry developed a production policy
which the government has authorized implementation in part.
Approval has been
given for the development of a silviculture program which will ensure the availability
of a 9.1 million cunit allowable cut after the year 2020.
This will, in effect,
expand the present silviculture program to twice its present level by the year
1983.
Since the recent expansion of industry has been far in excess of
expectations in Northwestern Ontario, it has now become evident that a considerably
greater effort will be required in the northwest if we are going to, in effect,
maintain the predicted level of cutting into the next rotation.
Predictions are
that within five to ten years, we will approach the calculated allowable cut of
�all species in Northwestern Ontario.
A considerable effort will be required using all the silvicultural
techniques presently available as well as some which may yet be developed.
The
emphasis will have to be on forms of natural regeneration which do not require
a high labour content and on increasing mechanization of the regeneration techniques.
We must place our emphasis on the more inexpensive techniques such as seeding if we
are to use the funds that will be available to obtain the greatest result.
There
are several seeding systems and devices which are now available in the province,
some of which were designed and constructed in Thunder Bay.
The move to expand the planting program has made it necessary to extend the
normal planting season.
This has been accomplished by the development of field
cold storage units capable of holding stock lifted in the spring until planted in
late June.
An additional support to this approach has been the planting throughout
the spring, summer and fall.
This is possible by using the storage mentioned above
and then planting stock in the summer which is delivered daily from the nursery
and planted immediately.
One such year- long planting is conducted from the
Dog River Silviculture Camp which is equipped with a cold storage unit.
This camp
also carries out other silviculture treatments during a brief period in early
July when planting is not done.
This camp serves as a focal point for all
silviculture activities on a portion of the Great Lakes Paper Company license.
Other such camps will be required in the future if we are to meet our goal.
Trends in silviculture treatments are illustrated in the graph which
follows on the next page.

Canadian Forestry Service; Dr. G. F. Weetman an Associate Professor at the
University of New Brunswick; Mr. N. F. Lyon, a Research Forester with the
Ministry of Natural Resources; and Mr. M. Dixon, Woodlands Manager of Great
West Timber.
The speakers presented discussions on the beneficial and adverse effects
of present logging practices. One of the main ideas that developed from
the general discussion was that we are the experts in the field of Forestry
and must manage the Canadian forests for the needs of the Canadian people.
A dinner was served to roughly 400 people at the Ortona Legion.
Entertainment was provided by an orchestra.
Active student participation played an important role in the success of
the Symposium.

Weyerhaeuser Lecture Series
Weyerhaeuser Lecture Series
This year the Weyerhaeuser Lecture Series took place on March 4-7.
inclusive.
The Southern Hard Pine region of the United States produces 60% of
the volume required for pulp and paper production in the States and
experts feel that within 20 years the South Pinerys will replace the West
as the chief timber producing area.
The Committee thus felt that a Lecture
Series about the Southern Pines was both timely and pertenant. Hence our
topic was "The Southern Hard Pines of the United States:
Silviculture,
Production and Land Use Planning."
Three distinguished and knowledgable speakers presented papers for the
series.
Dr. Earl L. Stone Jr. presented a paper entitled, "Development and
Implementation of Southern Pine Silviculture" which was written for us by
Philip C. Wakeley, one of the most prominent figures in Southern forestry
between 1924 and 1964. Dr. Stone, Professor of Forest Soils at Cornell
University in New York, concented to deliver Mr. Wakeley' s paper on
extremely short notice and we greatly appreciated and enjoyed his enthusiasm
for the topic.
Mr. Thomas Terry, is a Research Forester intensely involved in Soils
and Regeneration Management with Weyerhaeuser Co., New Bern, North Carolina,
Tom delivered a most interesting slide show on intensive management practices
on the North Carolina coastal plains and how they effect growth of Loblolly
Pine.
He talked about drainage of wet lands for optimal growth, bedding for
wet land planting, fertilization, the seed orchard programme and amazed us
with slides of 5 year old Loblolly almost 20 feet tall.
Dr. Albert F. Ike gave us a Canadian Premiere of a movie made in the
mountain area of the south-eastern states showing the rapid influx of
real estate speculation.
Families which have owned farms for many generations
are being forced off their land through rezoning from pressures of speculators
This results in higher tax levels they are unable to pay.
He also talked
extensively about aesthetic effects of logging and illustrated new landscaped
methods of cutting which lessen the empact of forest operations.
We were very disappointed that such low turnouts were present for what
we felt was a most enjoyable and informative lecture series.
My special thanks to the committee members: Nancy Phillips, Wim Smits,
Dave Cadwell, Niel Ruttle and Willy Cheslock.

A TRIBUTE TO FORESTERS
Was an old Forester long ago
Climbed the last tree in Buffalo
Looked around him just to see
If he could find another tree
Every where he looked in vain
The U.S. was one sub -urban plain
Then he looked to Ca-na-da
And nearly died from what he saw
He climbed down from that last tall tree
Let a little cry of glee
Grabbed his saw £ made a line
Directly for our Canadian Pine.
The industrial plan it wasn't small
They were out to cut it all.
We'll make our buck § industry grow
And the stupid people will never know.
Now we come to the bitter bit
They cut every tree those big nit wits
Until at last our government cried
Enough, Enough you've cut your last pine.
'How do
you cock this thing?"
"GOTCHA"
"Now how's that go
THE FORESTRY TROPHY ROOM

"I

Canadians wanted to save the tree
So they sent out men § called it Forestry
The job was huge but they had a plan
"If we can't do it nobody can".
The object was to keep supplied
The industrialists, but to keep in mind
What the people wanted too
Forests again, green § new.
Their plan was simple and the forests grew
They cut down trees, but they planted too
And then they let the people know
Our forests again had started to grow.
Now we come to the joyful end
Our trees are standing once again
We must thank our forestry team
For saving us from the industrial dream.
Raise your glass and raise it high
Like a tree reaching for the sky
As a tribute to forestry
For because of them, the trees will always be.

A TRIBUTE
While sitting here behind a nostalgic glass
I think once more of my tech II class
The field trips, parties of the Saars
Leaving trails and many stars
No stars though for those who braved
The crowds at hockey games who couldn't wave
A flag for victory
But then again there was a win
At a place called the Inn
Tovivo would be so proud
If he could have seen the holiday crowd
Of animals
The girls, the parade of kazoos
Remind me of our skiing zoo
And inspirations developed of an Irwin
kept a van lost in a whirlwind
So, as my smile goes from ear lobe to ear lobe
Now join please
To toast a tribute for the men
Who gathered in the glorious den
Of Lakehead forestry.
The Wet-Head is dead

A bunch of the locals were whooping 'er up
at the pub on a Saturday night.
All tougher than hell, and pie-eyed ginned,
All cussin' and fit for a fight.'
The juke-box in the corner was bangin' right along
With "Okee from Muskokee" and "The Old Log Driver's Song."
When all of a sudden, I swear to you all, that every word is true.
and all eyes gazed at the man in the door in blue.
The noise it stopped!
He stood erect , his head held high
He glanced about the bar.
With eyes of steel, cold deep and blue,
And a look that went a-far.
He took himself a table in the center of the floor,
He ordered whiskey
He drank it down
And then he ordered more.
The silence it was deafening,
All eyes watched where he sat.
He chuckled as he gazed at the glass in his hand
And then, "by Gar" he swallowed back that.
He took his time, he finished up
And then rose to his feet.
And n'ere a man dared move or breathe,
N'or chance his glance to meet.
He slowly walked around the room.
To every table on the floor.
Not looking left, not looking right,
Till he had reached the door.
And there, he slowly turned around
For all that crowd to see.
The white and blue that spelled the words
of LAKEHEAD FORESTRY! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The story's told throughout the land,
I swear my friends it's true.
And if per-chance you doubt my word,
Ask one of the boys in blue.

�CHAIRMAN'S REMARKS
Once again, I am pleased to avail myself of this opportunity to
address a few remarks to the readers of the "Lakehead Forestry Harvest."
The publication of the first LUFA yearbook, in 1972, marked the first
step taken by the students in the School of Forestry in the development
of a yearbook marked by progressive annual improvements in content and
format.
This trend parallels the growing awareness of the importance
of forestry both in Lakehead University, and in the region.
In the 1974-75 academic year, more than 430 students were enrolled
in the forestry programs.
Although this was the largest enrollment
experienced to date, current projections indicate that an even larger
number will be seeking forestry education at Lakehead University in 1975Although the rising interest by increasing numbers of young people
76.
in careers in forest resources management is gratifying to a profession
which regarded itself as essentially invisible and unknown, until recent
years, severe strains are being imposed upon our staff and facilities.
Forestry education came of age in Lakehead University at a time when our
provincial government adopted a policy of freezing further construction
of university buildings and facilities, and when enrollments in other
faculties and departments were beginning to decline.
In consequence,
during the past several years, both funds and suitable space have not been
readily provided,' with the result that the expansion of the School,
commensurate with rising enrollments and curriculum improvements, has been
seriously impeded. Our difficulties have been further increased by
problems in the recruitment of new full-time faculty members. Thus, our
ability to offer courses in some subject areas of current interest to many
students, such as land classification, land-use-planning, and forest
recreation has been severely restricted.
We were pleased to welcome three new full-time faculty members to
our School in 1974, in the persons of Messrs. A. Fedkenheuer, T.G. Liber
and D.A. Mead. They have assumed academic and administrative responsibilities,
and will bring new strength to our School in a number of subject areas.
We were greatly saddened during the year by the loss of two veteran
foresters of wide knowledge and experience who had joined our staff on
retiring from their previous full-time positions. Our special lecturer,
Mr. S.T.B. Losee, had assumed responsibilities for the teaching of Descriptive
Dendrology in the degree program. He died suddenly while conducting a student
excursion on the first day of field school. This serious loss for our School
was compounded in the first week of the second term by the sudden death of
Mr. J.K. McEwen.
With the assistance of our faculty members and the cooperation of the Faculty of Forestry at the University of Toronto, we were
able to effect some major changes in course responsibilities, and to continue
to function in spite of the loss of these two highly esteemed foresters.
During the past year, we have been engaged in the preparatory phases
of a Master's program in forestry.
It appears probable that we shall be
authorized to offer this program, for the first time, commencing in 1976.
A high level of interest has been shown in such a program, both by our own
graduates, and by others, and there is no doubt that adequate numbers of
students will be attracted to it.
.
�-2-
In the months ahead, we shall be endeavoring to continue our program
of recruitment of new full-time faculty members.
We do not expect tiiis to
be an easy task because of a number of problems, including non-competitive
salary levels, a national shortage of potential instructors having an adequate
background of education and experience, and the generally unfavourable conditions under which universities are now obliged to function.
Looking at the national and provincial forestry scenes, one is aware
that the winds of change are blowing briskly.
At the federal level, it
appears that, although the Canadian Forestry Service, as such, has virtually
disappeared into the Ministry of the Environment, a national forestry advisory
committee is beginning to give serious attention to the need for the definition
of a national policy on forestry. The British North America Act, of course,
conferred ownership of forest lands and resources upon the provinces. Through
corporation and personal taxes, however, the federal government is a principle
beneficiary of the exploitation of forest resources in the provinces. One
could argue, then, that it has a major responsibility for insuring the maintenance of the productivity of the forests by financial measures and cooperation
with the provinces.
During the past several years it has become apparent that traditional
timber licensing systems, little changed from those first developed in the
middle of the last centry, will undergo significant change. The abolition
of such licenses in the province of Quebec, the establisliment of a forest
authority in New Brunswick, and more recently, in Ontario of the Algonquin
Forestry Authority presaged the assumption of governments of increasing control
and responsibility for forest resources exploitation activities.
One can but
hope that we are not witnessing the initial development of burgeoning governmental bureaucracies which will have the effect of increasing the cost of
timber harvesting without significant improvements in the value of the wood
produced or in the environmental consequences.
For better or for worse, it
appears that forest management, and most of the activities which fall under the
umbrella of management will become a crown monopoly in most if not all provinces.
It is regretable, indeed, that the forest industries, long ago, did not choose
to exercise better stewardship of the large areas of public forest land entrusted to them under long-term licenses.
In the north western region of Ontario there is a growing belief that
current and projected levels of timber harvesting will soon approximate the
calculated allowable annual cut for the region.
Predictions of potential
timber shortages for some wood-using industries are heard. This possibility,
when considered together with proposals by vociferous "environmental" groups
for the setting aside of decidedly large, single purpose, wilderness areas,
indicate a need for a much intensified application of forestry techniques,
practices and principles, without delay.
There is no doubt, in my mind, that we are entering a most challenging
and stimulating period for forestry in Ontario.
The opportunities for
graduates to carry into practice the theories and techniques acquired in the
lecture room, laboratory, and in the field, are now better than at any time
heretofore in the history of forestry in Ontario. Until recent years, the
apparent limitlessness of the forest resource in the Boreal region constituted,
�-3-
in itself, a major psychological deterrent to the commitment of significant
efforts to forest management. The attitude towards our forests was expressed
in 1965 by a Canadian writer, Edward McCourt, who said:
"The Canadian shield is fascinating country of
enormous wealth, but there is too much of it.
Too much rock, too much prairie, too much tundra,
too mucli mountain, too much forest.
Above all,
too much forest.
Even the man who passionately
believes that he shall never see a poem lovely
as a tree, will be disposed to give poetry another
try after he has driven the Trans-Canada highway."
Although this notion lingers on in the minds of some people, there are
now few foresters who are prepared to argue that adequate forests for the
future can be ensured by the simple, traditional process of liquidating the
remaining wild forests and entrusting their renewal to unassisted natural
processes. Twenty years ago such an attitude was commonly held amongst
members of the profession. We have advanced, at least, beyond that stage!
In Ontario increasing responsibilities for forest management have been
assumed by a large bureaucracy, the Ministry of Natural Resources. Within
the multitudinous layers of responsibility in this organization, the new,
enthusiastic graduate will encounter, at an early stage in his career, the
dead weight and frustration of organizational procedures, red tape, and
inertia.
For one who becomes frustrated under these conditions, the temptation
is strong to resign and go elsewhere.
Such action may or may not prove
beneficial for the individual, but it does nothing to assist the organization
in the improvement of performance.
In the challenging period in which we
now find ourselves, high levels of professional competence, dedication, idealism,
courage, and persistence remain the prime requisites of all those who go forth
from Lakehead University to improve forestry practice in Ontario, or elsewhere.

��A MESSAGE FROM THE HON. LEO BERNIER,
MINISTER OF NATURAL RESOURCES.
Yes, we have a new name.
But it's more than two years old
now and many people are still confused about our transition
from Lands and Forests to our present title
of Natural Resources.
Perhaps
I
-
Ontario Ministry
might explain.
The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources came into being
April 1, 197 2 following a major restructuring of government.
Our composition includes the former Department of Lands and
Forests, the Department of Mines and Northern Affairs, Conser-
vation Authorities Branch from the former Department of Energy
and Resources, Historical Sites Branch from the old Department
of Tourism, various parks commissions and other agencies.
A major function of the former Lands and Forests operation and
one which the new ministry has assumed is that of forest protection.
Last year marked the Golden Anniversary of our provincial air service which has played a vital role in forest fire surveillance and
suppression throughout the province.
The air service
-
one of the
finest in the world - comprises a fleet of 43 aircraft including
the recently acquired Grumman Trackers which are being converted
into water bombers.
To mark this 50th anniversary, Bruce West,
a well known author and columnist with the Globe
&
Mail, has written
an exciting account of the early days of bush flying in Ontario
called, appropriately, "The Firebirds".
It is available through
my ministry and at our district offices throughout the province as
well as the Government Book Store, Bay and Grosvenor Streets,
Toronto.

recommend it as an interesting history of bush flying
�The goal of the new ministry is to provide opportunities for
outdoor recreation and resource development for the continuous
social and economic benefit of the people of Ontario and to
administer, protect and conserve public lands and waters.
Partial achievement of this objective is met by our Division of
Parks which administers 119 provincial parks having a total of
more than 10.4 million acres.
Each park is different.
offer excellent campsites, swimming and boating.
Some
Others retain
historical features along with other facilities and interpretive
programs.
Many remain open during the winter for camping, snow-
mobiling and hiking.
Recently, we introduced a snowmobile trails
maintenance program to permit private clubs to improve their special
areas and trails, all funded by the provincial government under
supervision of Natural Resources.
Most Ontario sportsmen have heard about our Division of Fish and
Wildlife which administers hunting and fishing regulations as well
as offering sound advice on likely hunting areas.
Those of you who are interested in cottage properties will be
familiar with our Division of Lands which provides the mechanism
for the leasing of Crown Land for cottage sites.
Of particular interest to you is our forest management programs.
During the fiscal year 1973/74, approximately 787,000,000 viable
tree seeds were utilized in the Provincial Forest Regeneration
program.
A total of 65,362,395 in nursery stock plus five million
tubed seedlings was produced in ministry nurseries for use in planting on Crown and private lands.
�A total of 318,158 acres of Crown and private land received
regeneration or tending treatment.
This included planting
or seeding of 150,225 acres; 131,618 acres being on Crown
land.
Stand improvement and tending was carried out on
167,9 03 acres of Crown and Private land.
A total of 3,249 agreements was made under The Woodlands
Improvement Act covering an area of 161,306 acres of private
lands.
Sixty agreement forests are under management covering
an area of 254,652 acres, and 28 Regeneration Agreements are
currently in effect with Timber Licensees, mainly in Northern
Ontario
In 1973, aerial spraying operations, to control the spruce bud-
worm, were carried out on an area of 88,300 acres of Crown land
in Northern Ontario.
An additional 12,000 acres were treated to
control other insects and diseases in the southern part of the
Province.
During the past decade the volume of Crown wood cut increased by
35 per cent from 376 million cubic feet to 506 million cubic feet
annually.
Ontario was the first province in Canada to complete an inventory
(in 1959)
of its forest resources.
inventory has been instituted.
Since 1960 a program of re-
It is designed to maintain an
up-to-date record of our forest resources.
Ontario's forest economy
has now reached a level of maturity which exceeds that in other
provinces by a wide margin.
Level of manufacturing creates more
jobs per cunit (100 cubic feet) of wood utilized.
Ontario's forest
industry employs almost as many workers as British Columbia but
harvests less than 35 per cent as much wood.
For each cunit of wood
produced there is a value added by manufacturing of $139 for Ontario
�compared to only $83 in Quebec and $44 in British Columbia.
Ontario's forest industry provides 72,000 direct jobs for the
province's labour force.
These jobs generated 125,000 indirect
positions in the supply and service sectors.
The shipping value
of all forest industry products increased to $1.9 billion in 1971.
The value added by manufacturing in 1971 represented $883 million
and places Ontario as the leader in adding value to each unit of
roundwood harvested in the province.
An important phase in forest site research was finalized with the
publication of a unique set of 11 maps of land-type patterns at a
scale of 1:125,000 for Southern Ontario, which can serve as a model
for further mapping programs in the province.
Tree breeding research has provided a firm basis to launch pilot
projects in which hybrid poplars are grown during short rotations
of 5-12 years, aimed at satisfying wood requirements of pulp mills
in eastern Ontario and providing local farmers with a new source
of income.
Aspen was formerly regarded as a weed species in northern Ontario,
but is now increasing in importance.
It has become the subject of
intensified silvicultural studies to improve the quality of the
trees and their rate of growth.
The Algonquin Forestry Act (Bill 155) was passed in December, 1974,
and was proclaimed on January 1, 1975.
This established the Algonquin Forestry Authority, which will be
responsible for harvesting Crown timber in Algonquin Park, producing logs and providing these to established industry.
�It may be required to carry out such forestry,
land management,
and other programs and projects as may be authorized by myself
as Minister.
On May 1, 1974, changes were made in regulations under The Crown
Timber Act relating to Crown dues and wood measurement.
The
purpose of these changes was to increase revenue from the sale
of timber and simplify wood measurement procedures.
Currently, a government task force is reviewing the entire
revenue field.
The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources is one of the largest
ministries in government.
As custodian of nearly 90 per cent of
Ontario's land and water, our major programs represent a whole
"bag of services" designed to provide both residents and visitors
with exceptional outdoor recreational opportunities.
One final word.
When you're using our wealth of natural resources,
please leave only your footsteps behind you.

�ON FOREST ECONOMICS IN CANADA
As foresters, we are closely identified, for better or worse, with the
forest industries, although we should never let ourselves be equated as an
extension of it. The importance of these industries to the rest of the country
cannot be overlooked. Together they add about five per cent to our gross
national product. Their gross value of production is expected to be about
$ 7 billion this year.
But we cannot view one industry or sector of the economy in isolation.
Whatever happens in one part of the economy has usually repercussions elsewhere,
although the time lag may be considerable at times.
Even isolation from the
international scene is hardly more feasible. The war in Vietnam is largely
blamed for the inflation plaguing the industrialised countries. And even if
we are self sufficient in crude oil, the increase in international oil prices
will affect us too before very long.
From a global perspective, the year
1974 is preferably forgotten.
Besides inflation and oil prices, many other
unpleasant conditions prevailed, inter alia, the growing awareness of limits
to natural resources.
As foresters, we have lived with the threat of a timber
famine for some time already, only to find our suspicions apparently misplaced
time and again.
The country has become immune to the problem. Even the pending
crude oil shortage has been initially discounted as a scare tactic or a clever
ruse on the part of the oil companies to raise prices.
But now that it gradually
dawns on us that the threat may be real for the immediate and short term future,
all kinds of problems appear to be even worse than in 1974; the possibility of
another war in the middle east, another oil embargo for some of our trading
partners, larger production cut backs, more unemployment, worse balance of
payments problems and protectionism. All these factors will dampen an already
decreased volume of international trade. A number of industries are cutting

But decisions made in Ottawa also come to interfere more and more in
corporate affairs as well as in our private lives. Even other jurisdictions
feel its heavy hand.
While there is no question but that Ottawa has the
constitutional right to interfere in the exploitation of natural resources

at stake, the manner in which it is accomplished leaves some far from reassured

clarified to restrict it for the moment to mineral royalties. But decisions

the forest industry.

from British Columbia to Halifax by railroad. To ship the same amount of lumber
within the Maritimes over a 100 mile distance costs about $25.

But how has the forest industry fared in this milieu? As a student,
the importance of the forest industry for the wealth of the country was
impressed upon me by the statement that forest products account for over 30
per cent of the value of our exports.
Since then, this relative position
has been lost, because two other industry sectors expanded their exports to
the USA considerably.
The auto pact with the USA did much to boost the export
value of manufactured goods. The exploitation and export of crude oil and
natural gas also expanded greatly since then.
Largely owing to these industries,
the forest industry appeared to be headed the same way as railroads, coalmines
and horse teams.
In 1973, the value of exports of forest products was
But relatively, the
$4 billion, 16 per cent of the value of our exports.
position of the export value of forest products for 1975 should be much
improved.
The fortunes of the forest industries are cyclical. The lumber industry
depends for a large part on the construction industry, a sector of the economy
itself highly cyclical, both at home and abroad.
Inflation is responsible
for the high interest rates in the money markets.
This discourages the
acceptance of the even higher mortgage rates, despite the fact that interest
payments are deductible from income before taxes in the USA, our principal
lumber market.
The pulp and paper industry generates its own cyclical
movements in profit positions, owing to the discrete nature of any increase
in capacity.
Often it seems, a new machine or mill comes into production
right at the point where the consumption cycle is on the down turn.
Planned
increases in capacity are about two per cent in both the newsprint and pulp
industries for the next year. Despite these modest increases, the importance
of the forest industries has remained, in many respects, very high.
They
belong to the ten leading manufacturing industries in terms of value added
by manufacturing and gross value of production.
Our pulp and paper industry
and the lumber industry ranked in 1971 first and second respectively in terms
of employment.
As graduating foresters, you join therefore a healthy and strong
industry.
Per force, they have considerable influence, politically as well as
economically.
The type of decisions the industry faces now and with which you will have
to become increasingly involved are those connected with the forest; specifically,
the problems for which solutions have to be found in the near future concern
the availability of forest labour and the cost of timber.
The technical aspects
of substitution of capital for labour may become one aspect of your job.
It
can equally well become for you an economic problem.
The other problem which is looming ever larger and about which decisions
must be made shortly concerns the relative merits of growing more expensive,
but better educated trees near the consuming industries or the reliance of cheap
wood delivered over long distances. That frontier is pushed ever farther away
and that wood becomes more expensive, both absolutely as well as in relative
terms.
Consider the cost of growing timber and start from the premise that in
the long run, the price of stumpage must be equal to the marginal cost of
growing trees. Only then, when on the margin the value of all marginal products
are equal will we have the condition that both you and the industry are making
the correct and an optimum contribution to society, regardless of whether the
tree is to be used for newsprint or recreational purposes.
It is still a long
way off, but the hope for a healthy attitude and an efficient profession rests
increasingly with you.

resources are getting closer and closer to the volumes allowed by sound
sustained yield management.
Also prevalent are comments made by the public
and some foresters regarding the apparent wasteful
industry today.

is
looking to systems
which will better utilize the entire tree there by increasing the yield
per acre and eliminate wastes which often attract the attention of today's
ecologically oriented public.
Such systems, from full tree clipping through
to the use of lignum residues as adhesives, all
have a commom goal, the
maximum utilization of Canada's most valuable renewable resource.
Similar concepts are no longer just dreams or drawing board plans
in
the profession today; but are slowly becoming fact, hence the choice
of the theme for the seventh annual Symposium, "Approaching the
Maximum Utilization Goal."
Three areas of interest were covered by the three speakers; two
papers were general; the third somewhat more specific.

Growth is what Forestry is all about and this year as always
our school has attracted more students than ever before where some
400 applied for first year alone, and where the average student
accepted in the degree program had

78 average.
To help releive
staff shortage, the school aquired two new professors, namely Mr.

�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 administration 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
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 accomplishing 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.
University Senate gave provisional approval to
a
Last year, the
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
broad perspective, the forest scene in Ontario
a
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.

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.
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.

�WEYERHAEUSER LECTURE SERIES
This year's lecture series, on Swedish sil vicultural tech-
niques, came off very well, thanks to the efforts of the committee,
the speakers and great audience.
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,

REVIEW
The term 1976-77 has been an interesting, eventful year for the forestry students of L.U. A great deaj. of credit is
due to the LUFA executive: Wolf Schwan, Wilma Cornelissen, Frances Bennett, Jamie Corcoran, Hak Neilson and
Brian Vermeersch. However, without the participation of large numbers of the student body, none of the successes
would have been possible.
The first LUFA event of the year was Shinerama Day, on behalf of cystic fibrosis. Under the leadership of Wilma
and Wolf, this shoe shining blitz netted a record high.
The annual corn roast was held at the LU woodlot, and was w eJ J ajyj£jy^L-EiJjji first time in five years, corn

while the women's team scored a win in the log splitting event of the tourney. The first gold medal ever received by

The Ninth Annual Symposium was concerned with the integKltion of logging and silviculture, and was ably arranged by Paul Butra and his committee. The lectures and succeeding discussion were interesting and provocative.
The Weyerhauser Lecture Series was competently orchestrated by Bob Mears and his committee, and the subject:

�THE FLYING CIRCUS
This year's Flying Circus proved to be a
prime example of organized chaos. Initially
planned as a precise, complete educational experience,
it
quickly decayed into a casual, hap-

hazzard, hit-or-miss tour,
to the benefit
and delight of the Circus members.
Fueled by massive quantities of Rubi and
ale, we not only discovered education but a little bit of entertainment on the side. The Circus
partook in tours that ranged from handbuilt
cedar strip canoes to particle board production.

PAUL BUNYAN
STORY
YOUTH
seems that every story has to start out with a baby
and this one is no exception. But Paul Bunyan was
no ordinary baby. He was born in the State of Maine, and
was like no other baby they had ever seen. His father, after
breaking his back trying to rock a house-sized cradle, built
a cradle in the shape of a boat, and let the sea do the rocking for him. This was a good idea until the young Paul
started having fun rocking and bouncing in his cradle. It
has been said that nearly one half the Eastern seaboard
was flooded out as a result of this playtime frolicking.
It
picture,
The photo on the left is sort of a family portrait of the
Bunyan family. On the right is Paul, and down below and
to the left is his father. Paul's youth was a happy one. His
was thankful for this, as spanking the large Paul
would have been hazardous to say the least. As soon as he
was old enough he joined his father cutting timber in the
Maine area. It was in this time that the young Paul learned
the trade of logging. He learned his trade well, cutting
most of the State of Maine during his youth.

The 1977-78 Weyerhaeuser Committee was pleased to present two knowledgeable guest speakers on November
1977 to discuss the "Sharing of Responsibility for Regeneration in Ontario." Mr. A. Herridge,
Asssitant Deputy Minister of Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources, presented his paper titled "A History of
Reforestation in Ontario" followed by a presentation by Mr. R. Loughlan, Manager of the Ontario Forest
25,
Industries Association. Mr. Loughlan's paper dealt with the "Implications of the

Reforestation BrieP'.
The discussion which ensued afterwards was enjoyed by the large crowd on hand as both speakers fielded
questions from members of the audience. The theme of this year's Lecture Series was very appropriate at
when the provincial government is seriously considering major changes in its forestry statutes.

On the following pages, you will see the graduates of both BSc and Forestry Technology programs.
They have worked for four or two years respectively, completing assignments, attending lectures, and
generally putting up with all the hassles of a university education. And having succeeded in their task, they
now go on to a career in Forestry, if the jobs are available.

��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
"Lu Forester". There were many other people who helped on the book
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.

The academic year was
highlighted by our various activities beginning with a forestry dominated Shinerama,
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
everyone else to come out and see what goes on. Try it, you may just like it!
I hope to see everyone next year.

progressive!) in the years ahead. There is now, in Canada and beyond, a much wider public and political recognition of the need for greatly intensified efforts in the rehabilitation and planned management of our forest resources than was apparent a few years ago.
In October,
>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

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.

gap" was formally recognized and discussed during conferences convened by the Ontario Ministry of
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 encouraging, 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

Fibrosis,
Lakehead University by the Foresters.
Elizabeth DeGroot, a forestry Degree 111 student
and Shinerama Co-ordinator for 1979, reported that
Tech I (way to go Teachers!) had the largest turn-out
of shoe-shiners on September 28.
Once Dorothy Bush put on her clown act (doesn't
she always?) along with Gwen O'Reilly.
Prizes were awarded on a money-coUected-perperson basis. First place was captured with a day-long
effort by Tim Grant and Ugo Feunekes of Degree I.
Together, they collected $292.13. Last year's winner,
Hugh Hughson, Alumni Tech Graduate of 1979 now
in Natural Sciences II 1/2. picked up second place
with a total of $130.18. Third place was awarded to
Shannon Stone and Dave Wadsworth of Degree III.
They shined $204.29 worth of shoes.
Once again, thanks to all participants and
Cystic
organizers for putting a shine on

On that day, as on most, the foresters had great
enthusiasm. We out-numbered the engineers (who
believe that if equipped with a hand-held calculator
they can be a match for a forester with a chainsaw)
by a mile, and even offered a rematch. Instead, the
black-bottomed box boys stole the rope (along with
everything else in our office). Despite that, we are
still here and wiUing to test the floatability of an
engineer, this year or next. The engineers will never
stand a chance because although the models are
always being redesigned, the foresters adapt at an

�The Great Race
The race of the century, and it was held right here at
Lakehead! On the bright and sunny Oct. 16 afternoon, 7
racing teams were lined up at the start, ready and waiting.
Count down, and then off!! Across the road and down
the sidewalk. Oooppsss!!! Yes, you were supposed to go
down the ramp, not over the railing; a slight casualty but
the race goes on. Up the stairs, change runners and hurry
to the finish line. It was a close encounter with the transit
bus (acts of God even happen in shopping cart races) so
Degree IV takes the lead and keeps it to the finish.
Racing in The Great Shopping Cart Race were none
other than Big Jim Slade with his harum. Snoopy and
(Yes) the Red Baron, one other Degree II team and one
entry each from Degree I, Tech II, Degree III and Degree
IV. Many thanks to SAFEWAY STORES for supplying
the racing vehicles and to Bill Wiltshire for delivering
them to L.U. and back.

pathology display was removed from the 3rd floor of the

the LUFA office was entered by the Plumber's break
and enter squad. Furniture, trophies, yearbook supplies,
signs etc. were removed and a colourful stain was added
ATTENTION
to the floor.
On Oct. 24, LUFA was informed 2 hours before a
General Meeting that the club was temporarily "unclubbed" due to irreconcilable differences with our
friends next door. To put it mildly, we were pissed right
off, so on October 25 at 11:30 a.m., 70 rowdy foresters
voiced their discontent in a 2 hour sit-down shout-out
protest in front of the LUSU office. To further voice
our displeasure, the local paper and TV stations were
called in to cover our peaceful but noisy demonstration.
Well, the cannon is now back upon the Centennial
Building lawn and our furniture has been recovered, but
the memory lives on (and engineers still suck!).

�Forest Biomass
That was the topic of the 12th annual LUFA Symposium.
Dr. Harold Young opened the Symposium with a history
of the development of Forestry and the study of Biomass.
The talk was highlighted with a slide show.
On Saturday morning. Bill Raitanen talked about the
work he is doing with hybrid poplar in Southern Ont. and
on the silvacultural aspects of Forest Biomass. He showed
some really amazing slides, for example, a 9 year-old poplar
the
same
size as a
27 year-old Red Pine.
Dennis Bradley talked about his studies on Complete Tree
Harvesting, the use of the whole tree including the branches
and roots. He also discussed some inventory problems he
has run across, for example, the inadequacy of current
inventory methods and the lack of data concerning the
crowns and roots of trees.
Bob Haig talked about the possibility of using wood for
energy in the near future.
After Supper, Professor Hearnden gave a "sermon" on
Forestry in Biblical times. (What is the second oldest
profession
...?)
Then came
the drinking, socializing, drinking, dancing,
more dancing, and just a little
drinking just for the hell of it.
Many thanks to those who attended and to the speakers.

�Chez Montreal!
This year's Woodsman's team had a great time in
Montreal, as usual. From Thunder Bay to Montreal (27
hours as guests of VIA Rail); from the crazy humour
of James and company, to the annoying game of
basketball at 3:00 a.m. (eh Joan?); from Montreal back
to T. Bay - it will be remembered by those involved for
a long time.
Tom Obright took on the job of Manager (thanks
Tom) and had to look after:

Despite the very cold weather, enthusiasm was high.
1st place honours were elusive for both teams,
Guylaine placed 2nd in the snowshoe race for the second
consecutive year, Vivienne Ball claimed 3rd place in the
Although
chainsaw event. Ed Morrice came 4th in the dot split.
Both Lakehead teams slipped in the overall standings
from the previous year, but already there have been
murmurings of "Watch out next Year!"

��Director's Message
Although the uncertain national economic scene and employment trends may not be seen to be cause for optimism
amongst forestry students, currently, a longer view suggests that there is reason to anticipate truly challenging opportunities and careers in Canadian forestry in the near future. Within the past several years, a widening public and
political recognition of the need for the implementation of the principles and practices of sustained yield forest
management has become apparent. In mid 1979, for example, a report "Forestry Imperatives for Canada", was
prepared for the Canadian Council of Resource and Environment Ministers. The following statement appears in that
report:
"Canada has allowed much of its most productive forest land to revert to a non-productive state. Firm action must
be taken to correct this in order to stop the current decline of the forestry industry in many regions of Canada. And
also to provide the opportunity for industrial expansion in the future. The opportunities of future job creation and
industrial development occur in all regions of Canada and are limited only by the degree of emphasis we place on
forest renewal and improvement today."
A recognition of the need for the kind of "firm action" referred to above, by one large, forest products company
is indicated in a recent article in the Globe and Mail. The article reports the concern of the President of the MacMillan Bloedel Company that, " ... British Columbia itself is running out of harvestable trees and even MacMillan
Bloedel with the largest timber allocation on the Coast, is "bumping against the ceiling of being able to supply our
B.C. operations". The Directors of the Company will be considering this month a "multimillion dollar increase in
spending on planting, fertilizing, thinning and improved data keeping." Similar measures are being planned or
implemented by other major forest products companies, especially in Western Canada, and there are indications that
the major companies in Eastern Canada, especially in Ontario, will be accepting increasing responsibility for the
more efficient harvesting and renewal of the forest.
Finally, we have reason to hope that, after more than a century and a half of forest exploitation and destruction,
we shall see the advancement of sustained yield forest management in Canada. Finally, we have reason to anticipate
that the principles and techniques of forestry, as taught in forestry schools across the country, will be carried into
practice.
In behalf of the faculty members and staff of the School of Forestry I extend our sincere good wishes to
students for satisfying and challenging careers in forest resources management in Canada.

looked at some old yearbooks
that covered 18 years and spanned the country from
Nova Scotia to B.C., to see what other editors have
said. Funny, but four of those books didn't have an
editor or a staff, they just sort of happened. Fortunately we didn't have that problem this year. I had
more people offering to help than I knew what to do
with. Especially in the photography department. That
was fantastic because photos are what the book is
made of. In this way we got a better cross-section of
the faculty represented in the book. To those of you
whose pictures weren't used THANK YOU for submitting them anyway. Please keep on submitting them
because without your extra help the book would lack
depth, which would be the beginning of the end of the
book.
When it came to doing the layouts there also never
was any shortages of help. Usually I had more people
offering to do work than I had the room or equipment
to keep them busy, so they took turns. Chris and Wiet
did most of the layout for the first deadline in the first
lounge of E-House while I was busy in the darkroom

BAY, ONTARIO
����From
the
Top
This has been a year of change and transition for the Lakehead University School of
and also for forestry in Canada. Early in the year Ken Hearnden, after many years
of dedicated service as director of the School of Forestry, assumed the responsibilities of Dean
of Students, and our Director Dr. Jim Kayll took over the helm of the School at the end of the
year. During 1981 we will closely examine the past and present programs of the School of
Forestry, and then we will take steps leading to the development of new programs that will
address the current and future needs of forestry education in Ontario and Canada.
The future programs of the School of Forestry must be developed with an awareness that
forestry in Canada also is in a stage of change and transition. We are moving from a time of
exploitation and extensive management into an era of intensive management and more complete utilization. These changes are spurred by increased Canadian and world populations, by
increased needs for forest products, and by the need for alternative sources of energy. The
themes for the 1980 and 1981 LUFA Symposium reflect these forestry changes - in 1980 the
theme was Biomass, and in 1981 the theme was Forest Management Agreements between forest
industry and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.
More intensive forest management of the future will require new forestry practices that
presently may be considered theoretical and impractical. And no doubt the future will see new
and radically different forestry practices emerge from research yet to be accomplished.
These forestry changes are bound to produce radical changes in forestry employment as well
as changes in forestry education in Canada. More intensive forest management and more
advanced forestry practices will require greater number of foresters. These forestry graduates
will need advanced scientific knowledge, and they also will need superior administrative skills.
And producing greater numbers of forestry graduates having superior training will require an
expansion and an improvement of forestry education at Lakehead University as well as at
other Canadian Schools of Forestry. We will need more faculty having advanced and
specialized knowledge, and also we will need more sophistocated laboratory and field equipment. Our forestry degree program must be expanded and improved. Our graduate program
must likewise be expanded and improved so that highly trained graduate students will be
available for the needs of forest industry, government agencies, Canadian forest research
stations, and Canadian Schools of Forestry.

Dr. Kayll had previously been Chairman of the Department
of Forest Resources at the University of New Brunswick,
where he spent the past 12 years as a faculty member. Prior to
that, Dr. Kayll held the position of research scientist at the
National Forestry Institute in Petawawa, Ontario.
Dr. Kayll's research interests lie in the field of forest fire
ecology and its application as a forest management tool.
Lakehead U. forestry students first met Dr. Kayll at the
UNB Woodsmen competition in October, 1980. The Chief
Judge of that competition was "a great guy" we were told by
UNB students - their loss, our gain.
Dr. Kayll, on behalf of the forestry students at Lakehead

anything has been discovered by the graduate students, it
is certainly the reality of these words! At present there are 15
graduate students engaged in further education, with their
thesis topics representative of every facet of forestry. Kevin
Antoniak and Bill Dalton are the budding wildlife biologists
of the group, while the rest of us are worrying about the
trees. Other graduate students include Nancy Phillips, Steve
Columbo, Emmanuel Mireku, Erhard Dolesberger, Connor
O'Reilly, Bill Towill, Art Groot, Eileen Harvey, Phil Behman,
Sherri Dubinsky, Johanna Kavanagh, David Thompson, Tom
Krickl, and Frances Bennett.
Although we don't have much time for socializing (except
for the Sleeping Giant and Landmark-eh Erhard!), a unique
camaraderie has developed amongst all. In part, this is due to
the quest for survival and the desire to escape the hallowed
halls of Lakehead University as soon as possible! Most came
to the programme not only ignorant of the truths concerning
Boreal forest silviculture, but also as complete strangers! We
are hopefully the better for our stay here (although not
financially so as many undergraduates would be led to
believe!!) For many, these friendships have made the two or

To
say anything else would increase the risk of forgetting
something important! We as graduate students realize the
importance of our years here, but more importantly, we
recognize the need for us to get out in the field where we can
compromise the theoretical with the practical. To this end we
leave you with this thought:
"When you think you are a great man, and above your
tribesmen, go into the forest, stand before a mighty pine,
then tell the pine how great you are."

Pits!!!
September 13, 1980 is a day that will be remembered
by many 1st year forestry students. That was the day
when they were initiated and became full-fledged
Foresters. For those of you who don't remember, you
were thrown, dragged, dunked and pulled through 3
shit pits. The pits were preceded by a Miss DBH
contest won by Ann Kangus, and a Mr. Butt contest
won by Pat Bocking. The judges were very enthusiastic
about the whole thing. It was cold, and it was raining,
but that didn't dampen the spirits of those hardy
freshmen. They just thought of that keg of beer at the
end of the pits, across the river.

the Foresters of '82 returned to class for another year

way to recognize the wood sample is to memorize the
number corresponding to each species in the wood

dose!
Next year, with the wizards, or Cripes Canada, or
(I guess they're just a gang of 'Howdy

including pit stops, scenic tours, etc.
On October 16, twenty one happy-go-lucky foresters
headed to the University of New Brunswick to take
part in the UNB Woodsmen Competition. These
foresters were the first to venture East, and compete in
the UNB competition. The competition, held on October 18, was attended by 28 teams, from the States
and Canada. Our Lakehead teams were the farthest
from their home range. The time and effort put into
the trip were well worth it - a stepping stone to
becoming champions!
A Championship to our credit ... Finally!! The '82
Lakehead Ladies' Woodsmen Team brought back the
pulp toss trophee to Thunder Bay after defeating all
men and women's teams in the competition. And there
were 37 teams attending the event.
As usual, the snow cover was thin in Montreal.
Although, we foresters of the North are not accustomed
to such "Banana belt" climate, we competed with as
much vigor and enthusiasm as the other Southern teams
did. The Lakehead teams faired well in all events (i.e. no
bad screw-ups). Other LU celebrities included Nolan
Shortt who took fourth place overall in the snowshoe
race, and Guylaine Thauvette who placed second in the
women's snow shoerace.

again Forestry is a proud and active faculty.
Forestry was very well represented in the intramural sports as usual, along with the various sporting events put on by
LUFA. The Kam-Am canoe race, after much controversy got underway and was dominated by outdoor racers, but
foresters were not far behind. The corn roast at the LU woodlot was a "smash", and it was disappointing to see that the
Engineers were not up to their usual antics.
The second annual shopping cart race was a big success; the colourful carts careening around campus shows that we
are indeed crazy. Our first annual orienteering competition, put on in cooperation with the Thunder Bay "O" club,
proved that those Wreckers just can't handle a compass and the bush. Weyerhaeuser went over well and I'm sure that a
lot of people were enlightened as to the compatibility of logging and recreation. As always the LU Woodsmen competition during winter carnival was very active and special thanks should go out to Guylaine Thauvette for coordinating
it and to the woodsmen's teams for vMging and helping set up. Symposium was a big success due to the hard work of the
symposium committee and a very c^Mfcversial topic - FMA's. "Thanks" for a job well done go to John Schueller, Bob

�"Thank You"
On November 8, 1980 the School of Forestry held a
dinner at the Royal Edward Hotel in recognition of
Prof. K.W. Hearnden's contribution to Forestry at
Lakehead University.
Professor Hearnden came to Lakehead University as
an Associate Professor of Forestry in 1969. He was
appointed Acting Chairman of the School of Forestry in
1971, became Chairman in 1972, and was re-elected to
Ihe position for three consecutive terms. He was
promoted to the rank of Professor in 1976, and served as
Director from 1978 to 1980.
During his years at Lakehead, Prof. Hearnden saw
the School of Forestry expand from granting diplomas
in
Forest Technology, to granting B.Sc.F. degrees in
1972,
and M.Sc.F.
in 1977.
Hearnden is Dean of Students at
Lakehead University.
On behalf of all Lakehead University Forestry
students-past, present, and future-we say "Thank you
Dean Hearnden".
Presently,

Ring Ceremony
In mid March 1981, the annual Canadian Institute of
Forestry ring presentation ceremony was held at the
Prince Arthur Hotel. The ceremony is jointly sponsored
by the North Western and the Lake of the Woods sections of the CIF. This year, the ceremony was attended
by the Vice-President of the CIF, the Chairmen of the
sponsoring sections, a Faculty representative, and of
course the graduating class.
The presentation of the ring is to recognize the fact
that the potential graduate is about to enter a career in
forestry after training in a Canadian university.
Congratulations are extended to the graduates and
thanks to the Canadian Institute of Forestry.

The end is in sight! For most people it is the end of
another school year. For others, it is the end of their
formal education at Lakehead University. At times like
to reflect back upon the past - to
good times and the friends we've made.
Every year the Forestry Yearbook staff does its best to
produce a book that will recap the highlights of the past 8
months, and we do it for a reason. Harvest '81 is
dedicated to The student; the one who desires to learn
and who is willing to endure hardship in order to achieve,
and the one who provides the highlights that can be
captured on film and recorded in Harvest. Thus, we are
dedicating
this
book to ourselves - professors,
technicians, secretaries, lab assistants, graduates and
undergraduate students. We have desired, endured, and
achieved, and we will continue to. Living is a learning

experience.
The production of Harvest '81 required lots of
ingenious ideas, and long hours of diligent
work by numerous HARVESTers. The requirements

were met by a super staff.
Fortunately, we had Rohn Solecki as Photo Editor.
With a photo bank of nearly 1900 pictures, Rohn spent
many late nights /early mornings busy in the dark
room. With his knowledge and experience as a previous
yearbook editor, it was also great to have Rohn around
as a General Advisor.
Leslie Hawkins is the girl to thank for keeping the
yearbook price at $6.00. Leslie did a lot of footwork as
Business Manager to increase our advertising revenue so
that we could add some badly needed pages to the book.
But she didn't stop there - layout and typing have also
become her
.
And then there are Susan MacBrien, Randy Collier,
Guylaine Thauvette, and Frances Youck who spent
many hours together (usually late into the night, or late
into April after exams) working on layout, copy sheets
and creativeness, eh Sue? Peter Hanmore and Joe
Kapron provided photography, while Peter and Nolan
Shortt helped with the darkroom work. THANKS

This year, more than ever in the past, we've had
