- Title
REMAKING SPACE IN NORTH-CENTRAL BRITISH COLUMBIA: The Establishment of the John Prince Research Forest.
- Authors
Fondahl, Gail; Atkinson, Donna
- Abstract
The article focuses on the establishment of John Prince Research Forest (JPRF) in North Central of British Columbia. The JPRF is managed by Tl'azt'en Nation and the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) to develop a strong, integrative faculty of natural resources and environmental studies (NRES). Frederick Gilbert as founding dean of NRES has conceived a research forest that would also serve the teaching and research need of the other constituent NRES program including biology, environmental studies, and geography. The author further explains that places in British Columbia are continually remade through complex maneuvers, resistance, and accommodation as different groups assert their visualizations of a given area.
