Skovbrug

Denne bog sammenfatter mere end 20 års erfaring med nyere tids skovrejsning i Danmark og er uundværlig læsning for alle, der beskæftiger sig med, overvejer eller planlægger skovrejsning. Bogen viser, hvordan man rejser og udvikler nye skove, og giver også indblik i skovens historie, muligheder og flersidige formål. Bogen indeholder desuden et idékatalog, der skal give inspiration til anlæg af nye skove, og en tjekliste med de overvejelser, man bør gøre sig, når man anlægger en skov. Bogen er skrevet af eksperter i skovrejsning og -udvikling, Jørgen Nimb Lassen og Jørgen Bo Larsen. Siden Folketingets beslutningen i 1989 om at fordoble det danske skovareal har de to forfattere fulgt skovrejsningen i Danmark, og deres erfaringer viderebringes i denne ambitiøse, lærerige og rigt illustrerede bog. Bogen kan læses af alle med interesse i skovrejsning, træer, natur, skov og landskab og skal især medvirke til forbedret skovrejsning i Danmark.

Skovene har i Danmark ligesom i mange andre dele af verden spillet en afgørende rolle i vores civilisations udviklingshistorie. Fremover får de en stadig mere central opgave som bidragydere til en bæredygtig samfundsudvikling for kommende generationer. Skovene er samtidig en af vores stærkeste allierede, når vi skal takle vores generationers to største globale udfordringer: Klima og natur.Denne bog undersøger derfor de to tæt sammenkoblede emner: 1) De danske skoves udvikling, betydning og potentiale generelt, samt 2) skovrejsning som den multifunktionelle ”Schweizerkniv”, som vi kan bruge til at skabe balancerede løsninger til gavn for både natur, klima, miljø, sundhed og behovet for bæredygtig grøn omstilling i alle dele af samfundet.Bogen er udgivet af Landskabsværkstedet, som er en tværfaglig forening med det formål at udvikle bæredygtige projekter inden for natur, skov og landskab. Den er skrevet af forstkandidat, chefkonsulent Jørgen Nimb Lassen, og forstkandidat, professor Jørgen Bo Larsen. Og kan læses af alle med interesse for naturbaserede løsninger, bæredygtig skovrejsning og helhedsorienteret landskabsudvikling.Se i øvrigt Landskabsværkstedets hjemmeside www.landskab.nu.

Since time immemorial, rain has defined life on Kaien Island, now known as the townsite of Prince Rupert. As the rainiest and cloudiest city in Canada, Prince Rupert is the perfect environment for rainbows—and the rainbow is an apt metaphor for the city: a symbol of diversity and inclusion, a supernatural gateway between worlds, and a universal sign of hope and calm after a storm.From its original Ts’mysen inhabitants to the first European explorers and fur traders, the building of dozens of salmon canneries to the construction of the transcontinental railway, the global upheaval of two World Wars to decades of industrial boom and bust, Kaien Island, and Prince Rupert, has always been a rich, multicultural trading hub that has weathered countless storms.By weaving together historical events illustrated by compelling archival photographs, The City of Rainbows strives to tell the story of Prince Rupert from a modern perspective, one that confronts the impact of colonization head-on and moves away from a romanticized account of the development of a “pioneer” town. Balancing the histories of Indigenous Peoples, European and Asian settlers, and recent immigrants, this book reveals powerful, intriguing, uncomfortable, and beautiful truths about an undoubtedly colourful city.

Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Forestry / Forestry Economics, grade: A, Tribhuvan University (Institute of Forestry, Pokhara Campus, Pokhara-15, Nepal), language: English, abstract: Local Adaptation Plans of Action (LAPA) is community-based adaptation plan that take a ¿vulnerability first¿ approaches to climate change. It was initiated more than half decade ago in Nepal and have crossed its planning and early implementation phase and it urges to study how it is progressing. For this purpose, Mauja village of Kaski District and Ghermu village of Lamjung were selected to assess the level of participation of poor and vulnerable (P&V) households (HHs), compare the contribution of P&V households; and examine the effectiveness of implemented plan to reduce the vulnerability and enhance their resilience. For the collection of required information, Household questionnaire survey, FGD, KII and direct field observations were implied for the primary data collection while the intensive literature review was done to collect secondary data. Similarly, Wilcoxon test was applied to check the effectiveness of LAPA implementation at 5% of significance level. The study reveals that, the participation of P&V HHs in LAPA formulation process was found to be quite appreciative. Specifically, respondents of Ghermu were found be more consultative and action and interaction oriented then the respondents of Mauja. However, the respondents of Mauja dominated Ghermu in activeness and involvement in specific activity. Similarly, for the LAPA implementation process, contribution of government agency (35%) is maximum in Mauja and contribution of donor agency(37%) maximum in Ghermu while comparing to contribution of CFUGs, partner NGOs and P&V HHs. In this regard, the contribution of P&V HHs was done in terms of physical contribution in both the villages. Spring and water source conservation activities, plantation of cash crops in bari land, beginning of the entrepreneurship were the major activities initiated by the inhabitants of both the villages after LAPA implementation. The implemented adaptation plan is found to be effective in terms of reducing vulnerability and enhancing resilience of P&V HHs in both Ghermu and Mauja. This study recommends for the enabling environment for P&V HHs to take ownership and need to facilitate a process of cross learning and sharing between district level and local level.
