Abstract
Harvest planners often consider potential fire losses and timber production plans can influence fire management, but most timber harvest planning and fire management planning activities are carried out largely independently of each other. But road construction, timber harvesting and silvicultural activities can influence the flammability of a forest, so the procedure applied in this work considers an integrated fire and forest management planning methodology that accounts for and exploits such interactions using a fire spread model, a network model that identifies crucial stands that can influence the spread of fires across a landscape, and a spatially explicit timber harvest scheduling model. The model and how it is being applied to a forest management unit in the boreal forest region of Canada are described.
