Foreword
A two-day Soil Survey workshop was held in February, 1981 at Qualicum Beach, British Columbia to discuss "Soil Interpretations for Forestry". The objective of the workshop was to bring the soil and terrain survey community up-to-date on current approaches to providing interpretations for forestry by government, industry, and consultants, and to arrive at some consensus (if possible) on the most appropriate methods of preparing and presenting forestry interpretations.
In order to accomplish this, the workshop consisted of speakers and working groups dealing with the various facets of forestry that can benefit from soil and terrain information. The papers presented at the workshop and the recommendations emerging from working groups are published in this "Proceedings".
In order to encourage workshop participants to come prepared to discuss topics at the working groups, participants were given a month in advance: (1) a list of what working groups they were assigned to; (2) a list of suggested questions to answer at their working groups; and (3) a discussion paper on "Soil Interpretations for Forestry".
The workshop seemed particularly timely since the number of people in B.C. working on forest soils in recent years has grown considerably. The number of workshop participants (see list in Appendix) attest to this growing expertise and interest.
I would like to acknowledge Art Benson, Director, Terrestrial Studies Branch, Ministry of Environment; Ted Baker, Manager, Ecology and Earth Sciences, Research Branch, B.C. Ministry of Forests; and Terry Lord, Head, B.C. Pedology Unit, Agriculture Canada for their support of the workshop. I would also like to thank Gloria Ruyle, Research Branch, Ministry of Forests for her assistancein organizing workshop rooms and accommodation at Qualicum Beach; and to Cecily Vold, Research Branch, and Paul Daykin and Harry Quesnel, Terrestrial Studies Branch, for editing some of the material.
