The Aleza Lake Research Forest Society is a social enterprise based in Prince George, BC. We specialize in forest-based research, education and implementation of innovative forest practices. As a not-for-profit business, our organization has developed two revenue generating divisions that support our social objectives.\u00a0 Our revenue generating divisions include timber sales from our 9,000 ha forest tenure, and consulting services.<\/p>\n
We aim to bring the most innovative and unique solutions to our clients. We are experts at translating new research into forest management practice, designing and implementing small harvest and silviculture treatments, prescribing and managing sensitive, and managing publically visible treatments. We also design and implement research trials, demonstration sites, and field-based teaching modules. The solutions we bring are grounded in academic research and innovative methods that we adapt from our research and education activities to provide the best service to our clients. Whenever possible, we integrate consulting projects into our education program to leverage social benefits from our work, at no additional cost to the client.<\/p>\n
The Aleza Lake Research Forest Society manages a 9,000 ha forest tenure east of Prince George, BC as an “outdoor laboratory” which is where the Society creates opportunities for research and education. We do this by integrating research with forest management and investing in teaching infrastructure. Profits from our harvesting and consulting division are directly reinvested into our research and education programs.<\/p>\n
