The McGregor Model Forest, encompassing
7.7 million hectares of land in the north central interior of British
Columbia, is located in the heartland of Canada’s softwood lumber producing
region. The Model Forest encompasses the city of Prince George and extends
from the northern reaches of the Caribou region to the northern limits
of the Fraser River drainage basin. The forest is divided into three distinct
regions: boreal, montane and sub-alpine. McGregor’s recent project areas
include climate change, forest health, implementation of the National
Forest Strategy, development of criteria and indicators with Russia’s
Gassinski Model Forest and urban forest management planning. McGregor
currently sponsors the Yukon Project, which is examining issues of local
concern in collaboration with the Government of Yukon and the Champagne
and Aishihik First Nations. The Model Forest also served as the
sponsor for the
Vancouver Island Non-Timber Forest Products Project, a special project
area previously funded by the CMFN.
