Bruce Larson, professor and FRBC Chair of Silviculture for the faculty of Forestry for the University of British Columbia, discusses the recovery process after a natural disturbance or catastrophe. He talks about disturbance through an ecological and sociological lens, and provides many examples of natural disasters in different locations, as well as the results. Economic and ecological aspects of recovery are elaborated on. He concludes with the assertion that there is no one proper path recovery; that recovery depends on the perspective and priorities of the individual.
This presentation was a part of the Mountain Pine Beetle Information Exchange Forum in April, 2015.
