This week at Aurea has been very eventful. We have started modelling our different scenarios using our TIPSY and VDYP curves in FPS-ATLAS. Using the baseline, we hope that this coming week we will be able to model some different scenarios in the woodlot to demonstrate what is our optimal scenario. We have also started some of the initial work in writing the management plan. We are currently working on directing our management strategies to be able to conform with the FSC certification scheme. In doing this, we hope that the woodlot will be managed in a sustainable fashion. We are also writing an appendix to provide a guide to management strategies surrounding the Pacific Water Shrew in the area.
This coming week we will be concluding what writing we can and starting to get our plan together. We will also be using the data attained from our various modelling scenarios, and inputting it into a Carbon modelling program to see if there are any opportunities to consider carbon as one of our main values.
