community forestry in canada: an overview of current affairs and potential for the future
abstract
this paper examines the current body of literature available covering the
topic of community forestry in canada. using a modified synthesis
literature review method articles covering the theoretical and practical
applications of community forestry in canada are examined. the results
are conclusive about the state of community forestry in canada, namely
that while it exists it faces serious problems in the attempt to become a
recognized practice. the lack of governmental support, community ability
and social and economic capital prove to be significant stumbling blocks
in the face of mainstream success. this paper finishes with suggestions for
a more effective community forestry process in canada. it also includes a
critique and summary of current literature and suggestions for further
avenues of research.
