Setting the Stage
Silviculture Systems
Lesson 1
Part 1,2 = Discussion
Part 3 = Student activity
Part l: (Time: 15 minutes) A teacher led activity:
Refer to TB1 - Silviculture: The Forests of British
Columbia –
(Teacher Background (TB1) - Part 1)
Lead into a brainstorming session with students to determine what

Who manages it? Who cuts trees? Who decides how much to cut?
What is the cost of cutting timber? Is there a limit on how much
can be
cut? etc.
Part 2: (Time: 15 minutes) A teacher led activity:
Refer to TB2 - Silviculture Systems – (Teacher Background
- Part 2) Students will learn about the definition of a silviculture
system, theactivities and the many considerations necessary prior to harvesting
any
timber.
Part 3: (Time: 45-60 minutes) A teacher/student activity:
Silviculture Systems - Students will learn to define
some silviculture
systems in B.C., identify them on the overhead and complete
