Silviculture activities, comprising site preparation, planting, direct seeding, stand tending, and pest control, are summarized for each province and territory and for Canada for 1975-76 to 1985-86. Silviculture activities have increased steadily relative to the area harvested. The basic area data on site preparation, planting, and direct seeding have been further refined with more complete information on site preparation application and silviculture success rates. Information on success rates indicates that approximately 68% of the area harvested is adequately reforested, with natural regeneration accounting for 74% of this reforestation. Stand tending has increased more than any other silviculture activity.

Environmental indicators, like economic indicators, are important tools for translating quantities of data into succinct information that can be readily understood and used by decision makers and the general public. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has taken the first step in leading an international initiative to develop a series of indicators and Canada is beginning to work on developing a similar series. This report presents a brief overview of efforts now underway to develop consistent, reliable indicators to measure the quality of our environment, the stresses placed on it, and the steps taken to prevent or reduce those stresses.
