What is Forestry Engineering Canada is a place where people are blessed with many gifts. In the south, particularly the south west and south east, trees flourish in huge swaths of forest. The forest is home to many of the Creator's creatures - birds, deer, bear, elk, rabbit. It is also a source of food, shelter, heat, clothing and medicine. In the time since contact with Europeans, the forests have grown smaller as they have been cleared for housing, roads and commercial purposes.
Forests are complex systems.
Managing them requires a deep understanding of many different variables. Harvest too many trees and you risk losing the soil which sustains them. You also risk losing all the wildlife which depend on the forest for life. In the Amazon rain forest of Brazil, whole species and ecosystems have disappeared because of irresponsible forest destruction. Forestry engineers might look at ways to make harvesting machines lighter so that they cause less damage to the soil and forest floor.
