Ep. 18 - Canadian Ruffed Grouse and Forest Management with Ruffed Grouse Society Canada

In this week's episode, we catch up with our friends from the North, Mark Symes and Andrew Lowles, of Ruffed Grouse Society Canada, to learn about the ruffed grouse and forest management in Canada. Both coming from backgrounds in science, biology, and forestry, Mark and Andrew provide us with a unique outlook and perspective on the challenges and opportunities that RGS Canada faces in conserving a species like the ruffed grouse in a country where populations are abundant. We discuss:   How RGS Canada can learn from our mistakes in the US regarding the management of ruffed grouse and our forests. The difficult nature of creating an organization to advocate for a species like the ruffed grouse, where populations are plentiful. The social licensing and public perception of logging and forest management in Canada. The forest product market in Canada and how their forests are managed differently in the different forest ecosystems across the country. Is the future of forest management and logging brighter in Canada than it is in the United States?
