Stand Establishment Decision Aids (SEDAs) are extension notes that synthesize the latest information on silvicultural tools and practices that can help deal with
environmentally limiting factor within the context of the Biogeoclimatic Ecosystem Classification (BEC) Zone System. These extension notes present information
in a user-friendly format for the professional operational community. The information presented in each SEDA looks at the broad silvicultural tool kit including
silvicultural systems, site preparation options, regeneration options, etc. They also provide information on cost/risk/trade-off options in reaching specific
target management objectives.
For further information on the SEDA series, contact Kathie Swift, and view the following SEDAs published to

Wildlife Habitat Decision Aids (WHDAs) are extension notes that convey relevant information on factors requiring consideration when managing forests and range in British Columbia for specific wildlife species and their habitat needs. WHDAs synthesize in a user-friendly format the latest scientific and experiential information, including expert knowledge, on operational management tools and practices available to forest and range practitioners to meet these needs. The information presented in each WHDA looks at habitat characteristics for a particular wildlife species at different spatial levels, how desired habitat conditions look like in terms of habitat structure, and how to manage for these attributes from an operational point of view. They also provide information on cost/risk/trade-off options in reaching specific target management objectives, as well as other practical recommendations.
