Welcome to the Healthy Landscapes EBM Journey

Ecosystem Based Management (EBM) is a different way to manage forest resources. The change from how we manage resources today is a journey, not just a destination.

There has been much work done in the name of boreal forest management. Some of it has been done with EBM in mind. Some has been done in the pursuit of other objectives. Here, we not only describe what EBM is, but we present examples of research, collaborations, and demonstrations that show how and why EBM can improve boreal forest management.

We invite you to start your EBM journey here. If you are already on that road, we encourage you to explore and perhaps discover what your next step might be.
