Abstract

This seminar will present a PhD proposal by candidate Stephanie Rotarangi. In particular, the presenation will summarise the history of forestry science and define challenges and goals for the New Zealand profession going forward. Stephanie's thesis proposal is to define the elements of forest management models most important to Māori and discuss how policy and forest science enables or constrains such values.

About The SAC Series

SAC Meetings are a CSAFE organised seminar series that meets fortnightly aimed at stimulating discussion and debate on issues relating to natural resource management. The 2008 series combines the Te Hao Mātaurangaans and Sustainable Agriculture Colloquium and the series will focus on topics relating to sustainable agriculture, environmental stewardship and traditional ecological knowledge.

With speakers coming from backgrounds as diverse as design, history, agribusiness and education we look forward to some lively discussion and informal debate.

As always, the discussion will be helped along by glasses of wine and snacks, so come along – we’d love to hear your opinion on the issues and challenges and research that will be presented.

All welcome—please circulate this invitation to friends and colleagues.
