is generally recognized as a sign of approval

Taking Credit Courses? Read on:

What Grading System is Used for Credit Courses?

Continuing Studies for-credit courses will usually follow either a Pass/Fail or Alpha grade scheme. in special circumstances (e.g. some specialty certification programs such as Wildlife danger tree) there may be a unique grading system in place.

What Happens if I Fail?

no sweat! Failing grades are not recorded for students who do not receive a passing grade for any Continuing Studies for-credit course. neither unofficial nor official unBC transcripts will indicate the failing grade.

I’m Not Happy with my Grade. How Do I Appeal?

the formal academic appeals procedures at unBC do not apply to Continuing Studies for-credit courses. Students who have specific questions regarding their academic work should contact the course instructor. general questions should be directed to Continuing Studies.

How do I get the credits taken with Continuing Studies on my academic record?

on successful completion of a for-credit course, any student wishing to transfer credits to their unBC academic degree record must complete a “Continuing Studies Credit Request” form. the form is available from unBC Continuing Studies. the completed form will be forwarded to the unBC Registrar’s office and the student’s record will automatically be updated with the course information, including final grade and credit hours awarded. there is no charge to complete this transfer. Students who require official transcripts of academic credits must make their requests through the unBC office of the Registrar. there is a fee for official transcripts.

How do I request a copy of my transcript?

Any student interested in receiving an unofficial transcript showing their academic standing for any Continuing Studies courses completed, may request one with unBC Continuing Studies. unofficial transcripts may be obtained free of charge. unBC degree students should transfer their academic credit (as above) then request an official transcript through the unBC Registrar’s office. Students not enrolled in any unBC degree programs may request official transcripts through unBC Continuing Studies by completing the transcript Request Form. there is a fee for official transcripts.

Get Credits for your UNBC Degree.

Certain Continuing Studies courses are clearly designated as earning academic credit at unBC. Credit earned in this manner is unspecified and is treated as elective credit hours. university admission requirements do not apply to these courses, and students are advised that they will be registered for them on a credit basis unless they direct otherwise at the time of registration. Whether taken for credit or not-for-credit, the content and requirements of these courses are the same.

graduate students are reminded that, as with all other academic credits, credits earned in this manner may not be applied to their degree programs without the express permission of their Supervisory Committee and approval from the dean of graduate Programs.

Move from manager to leader;

get staff excited and energized about the future;

Learn new techniques of motivating people;

Create a new sense of energy and focus;

Yet every angry expression is a tragic expression of an unmet need. in this session, participants will explore the needs at the root of all anger. they will then use a proven process that will equip them to transform this raw emotion into a healthy and generative force as opposed to toxic and destructive one.

the thinking that leads to anger;

needs underlying all expressions of anger;

Advanced.Road.Deactivation.(XENG.010)

this three day class and field course focuses on the assessment and prescription phases of road deactivation. Research has shown that many landslides occur due to problems associated with forest road deactivation. Most often this is a result of using techniques that were unsuitable for the terrain. this course is designed with a strong emphasis on the development of appropriate prescriptions for high hazard sites where non-standard techniques are required. the course comprises one day in the classroom and two days in the field and includes a review of actual deactivation sites and the completion of both assessment and prescription exercises on selected road sections.

during the field portion, participants will be required to review deactivation sites and complete individual and group prescription assignments. these assignments are designed to provide guidance and greater experience in road deactivation techniques in both typical, and in more critical situations.

Bioengineering.Techniques.(XENG.015)

Soil Bioengineering is an applied science that uses live plant materials to perform an engineering function such as slope stabilization, soil erosion control, or seepage control. this two day class and field streambank restoration workshop will focus on soil bioengineering techniques and options involved in restoration and reclamation of damaged ecosystems and streambank sites using a combination of structural materials, vegetative cuttings and other specialized techniques.

this streambank restoration workshop will discuss:

Factors involved in successful restoration;

Successional reclamation;

Soil bioengineering techniques;

Regional differences in climate, soils, hydrology, plant types, and growing seasons;

Maintenance and monitoring.

Forest.Harvesting.&.Silviculture.(XWDT.110-1)

this two day classroom and field course trains participants to identify wildlife trees and assess steps necessary to ensure worker safety and habitat protection when operating around wildlife/dangerous trees.

upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to identify potential habitat; determine which trees are safe and dangerous in various settings; determine if dangerous trees should be removed or modified; and establish no-work zones. this process is applicable to all work activities in forested settings, e.g. harvesting (especially relevant to partial cutting where various group retention, shelterwood or individual tree retention systems are employed), silviculture, roads, etc. this certification is recognized by WorkSafe BC.

Wildland.Fire.Safety..(XWDT.120-1)

this two day training course provides information and technical procedures for assessing tree hazards and establishing appropriate safe work practices in situations where there is potential exposure from dangerous trees to workers involved in wildland fire fighting. it also provides information on habitat quality which can be used to retain some high-value wildlife trees where opportunities exist to assess both tree hazards and wildlife tree habitat value (e.g. in sustained action fires where there is sufficient time to assess wildlife tree habitat components). Fire crews involved in wildland fire fighting do not have the time to complete a detailed tree assessment to determine if trees that appear dangerous might actually be assessed as safe. Consequently, this course primarily focuses on worker safety and tree defects which are visually inspected and rated as having “high defect failure potential”. this certification is recognized by WorkSafe BC.

Parks.&.Recreation.Sites.(XWDT.130-1)

the Parks branch of the Ministry of environment in cooperation with the Wildlife tree Committee has undertaken a modification of the existing Wildlife danger tree Assessment Course for forestry operations. this course is developed and designed specifically for Parks, Recreation Sites and other municipal settings where there may be exposure to potentially dangerous trees. Participants will learn how to identify wildlife and dangerous trees, and determine steps necessary to enhance worker/public safety and habitat protection when operating around wildlife/dangerous trees. upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to identify potential habitat, determine which trees are safe and dangerous in various settings, determine if dangerous trees should be removed or modified and establish hazard zones. this certification is recognized by WorkSafe BC.

Wildlife.Danger.Tree..Module Differences

three modules of the Wildlife/danger tree Assessor’s Course currently exist. each course is two days in length, involving a mix of classroom and field exercises, and qualifying exams. All course modules are complementary to one another, consequently persons can upgrade with a qualifying written exam for that particular module.

Forest Harvesting and Silviculture this module is intended for persons working in the forestry sector who wish to assess wildlife/danger trees in all types of harvesting, silviculture and road travel applications

Wildland Fire Safety this module is intended for persons involved in wildland fire suppression, including all activities ranging from work with hoses and hand tools (mop up), to involvement of heavy machinery and aircraft. Specific criteria and safety procedures relevant to fire suppression activities are presented in this course.

Parks and Recreation Sites this module is intended for persons involved in wildlife/danger tree assessments in forested parks and recreation sites (assessment procedures are restricted to BC native tree species). Along with assessment of tree hazards, detailed information on the determination of wildlife habitat value is presented in this course.

Certification

those individuals who successfully complete the course (see passing grade for exams) will receive a letter with your exam marks and a certificate with an assessor number. the certification is valid for 4 years. Certificates will be sent via mail within 2 - 4 weeks of course date. Please ensure correct mailing address on registration forms.

Passing.Grade.for.Exams

there are two exams required for Wildlife danger tree Certification. A combined average of 75% for the oral (field) exam and written (class) exam is required, including a minimum 85% on the oral exam. this standard applies to the full two-day course as well as the one-day Recertification/upgrade course. A minimum score of 75% is required on the written exam for Challenge, there is no oral exam.

Prerequisites

the following pre-qualification standards are required of anyone taking the Wildlife/danger tree Assessor’s Course for the first time:

SilvicultureBasic.Forest.Soils.(XSIL.010)

this course consists of one full day in the field identifying soil horizons, classifying humus forms, soil texturing, estimating coarse fragment content and identifying parent materials. By the end of the day, participants will understand how soil components interrelate and how such features determine the properties of soil.

Participants in this workshop may already understand the significance of the forest soil – its dynamic nature and its role as the very foundation of the forest ecosystem. inappropriate forest practices are often applied because of a poor understanding of general soil principles. indeed, some soil disturbance may be beneficial to tree growth, but excessive disturbance leads to soil degradation. Soil degradation can hinder seedling survival and growth, and may reduce long-term site productivity. With an understanding of soil properties and processes, you will not only be able to predict the soil’s response to treatments, but also contribute to the correct management of our forests.

Biogeoclimatic.Ecosystem.Classification.(XSIL.011)

this workshop is an introductory course designed to meet the prerequisite requirement for the Silviculture Survey training modules. the format of the course will allow the instructor to tailor the workshop to the level of experience of the participants. By the end of this workshop, participants will:

understand basic ecological concepts and the role of the BeC system as a tool in forest management, including its strengths and limitations;

Be familiar with the hiearchical framework of BeC and definitions of categories used in classification (zones, subzones, variants, phases and site series);

Have hands-on practice describing sites (in terms of site, soil, and vegetation features), identifying and classifying sites;

discuss management interpretations that can be made based on the site classification.

the course is structured into a morning field session and an afternoon classroom session on day 1, followed by an all day field session on day 2. By going directly into the field at the start of the course, we provide experiential learning, drawing upon the knowledge of the participants and reinforcing the ecological concepts and principles to be discussed in the classroom session.

Basic.Silviculture.Surveys.(XSIL.001)

Silviculture surveys provide information about the vegetation cover, current regeneration stocking levels, and factors influencing the selection of treatment option for forest sites. this information is used to make decisions about regeneration treatments. in order for appropriate decisions to be made, the data collected must be accurate and collected in a consistent, statistically acceptable manner throughout the province. this three day classroom and field course provides an introduction to the procedures for completing silviculture surveys in BC. it also discusses the importance of surveys, their linkage to other systems information and how the data are used to make decisions about site treatments.

topics covered include:

Survey accreditation process;

Survey types and timing;

Silviculture survey contracts;

office preparation;

Stratification;

Forest health;

Walkthrough;

Critical site factors;

Plot cards.

Note: Before registering, participants should be able to read a map; use a compass; identify tree species and understand Biogeoclimatic Ecosystem Classification (BEC) concepts.

What’s.New.in.Silviculture.Surveys.(XSIL.002)

Silviculture survey and regeneration milestone reporting requirements are key components of the Forest and Range Practices Act FRPA and Forest Planning and Practices regulation FPPR Forest Practices Code of British Columbia Act, Silviculture Practices Regulation. Survey information may be used for prescription creation, ascertaining compliance with standards, auditing, or monitoring. the objective of this workshop is to ensure silviculture surveyors are aware of the most current information that will impact the way silviculture surveys are carried out. the current “Stocking and Free growing Procedures Manual” will be available at this session.

the session will allow participants to ask survey questions of a regional examiner and will review:

the accreditation process;

updated survey requirements;

Critical survey office and field procedures;

the expectations of an acceptable recommendation;

Administration and contract issues;

Common errors by surveyors;

Multi-storied vs multi-layered stands;

“new establishment to Free growing guidebook” Appendix 5 and 9;

new maximum density levels for the Southern and northern interior;

Forest Cover Stratification Regulation;

new inventory Label requirements with ReSuLtS submissions.

Five.Day.Silviculture.Surveyor.Training.(XSIL.020)

this five day combination classroom and field program is designed to assist individuals preparing for the upcoming survey field season. the course is also suitable for those who require an extensive review prior to writing the Silviculture Survey Accreditation examination. An experienced Silviculture Survey instructor/ examiner will lead each session.

Day 1 - Classroom: Survey principles; opening file review ; the silviculture prescription; Survey parameters; Stratification; Sampling methodologies; the FS 657. Day 2 - Field: ecological classification; Critical site factors; Basic soil classification; Plot data collection; the FS 658. Day 3 - Field: Site index; Forest health data collection; Multi-storey field procedures. Day 4 - Classroom: data summary; the FS 659; Statistical calculations; Report preparation. Day 5 - Classroom: treatment recommendations; What to expect on the exam.

Note: Participants have the option of registering for the entire five day program or registering for one or more selected days. The course tuition varies based on the number of days selected.

Silviculture.Survey.Accreditation.Exam.(XSIL.022)

the two day exam is regional in nature and includes written questions, case studies and field exercises. the accreditation exams will include a one-day written examination, focusing on field-based case studies. Appropriate reference materials will be used and slides and/or video footage may be used to clarify case study issues. the second day of the exam will include a complete silvicultural survey conducted in the field. the exams will be marked based on the performance expectations. the exam is open-book, however, no sharing of materials or equipment is permitted.

Requirements: to successfully challenge the exam, applicants must know current procedures for survey design, stratification and development of survey parameters, soils and ecosystem classification, site diagnosis, stocking standards, and field cards (FS 657, 658, 659, 922, 810, 1138). Applicants must have knowledge in the various types of surveys (stocking, plantability, and free growing), forest health, vegetation management, contract administration and the use of a framework to make effective stand treatment recommendations. individuals requiring a review or more training prior to writing the exam can take advantage of one of the many silviculture training packages available.

Silviculture.Surveys.for.Contract.Administrators.(XSIL.023)

in the field of silviculture surveys, the Ministry of Forests document “Stocking and Free growing Survey Procedures Manual” is the reference on the subject. it has recently been revised and as a result operational procedures and contract documentation should be updated to take advantage of the flexibility it provides. Survey procedures have evolved over the years but the ‘baggage’ of outdated methods has often been dragged along, resulting in a loss of the streamlining that was intended in the update.

take advantage of this opportunity to learn the freedom available in the “Stocking and Free growing Survey Procedures Manual”, and to update your contracts and procedures in a workshop format. Participants are asked to bring their survey documents, contracts and sample surveys to the workshop. You will leave with them marked up with revisions, suggestions and with a series of issues to take back to your managers for further discussion. Also highlighted will be the critical few data items among the dozens of moderately important items. these will be separated from the many non-essential and unnecessary data items using the philosophy “if you ask for it to be collected you will be paying for it, so keep the ‘baggage’ to a minimum”.

Windthrow.Management.(XSIL.024)

this course is intended for government, industry and consulting practitioners who design, implement, supervise or audit development plans, silviculture prescriptions, logging plans, harvesting and stand tending operations. Arborists and urban foresters dealing with forested parks, riparian buffers or greenways will also benefit.

Course objectives are:

to review the concepts of professional reliance and best management practices in the context of windthrow assessment and management;

to introduce wind as a natural disturbance agent and review potential impacts of windthrow in natural, managed and urban forests;

to introduce the concepts necessary for assessing windthrow risk at the tree, stand and landscape levels;

to introduce the principles of designing harvesting and retention prescriptions with lower potential for wind damage;

to introduce tools for predicting tree and stand-level risk;

to review methods of windfirming retained trees and aggregates, and the effectiveness of these techniques;

to provide participants with an opportunity to assess windthrow probability and potential impacts in clearcuts, partial-cuts and riparian management areas, and to consider harvest design and windfirming treatments, in the field.

Soil.Conservation.Survey.Accreditation.Course..(XSIL.013)

As a legal requirement under the Forest Practices Code, maximum limits for areas occupied by soil disturbance and access structures must be specified in prescriptions. the survey procedures and methodologies described in the Soil Conservation Survey guidebook are used for assessing compliance with these limits. this three day course is specifically designed for forest personnel who will conduct formal soil disturbance surveys following timber harvesting or mechanical site preparation. Successful completion of this course will result in accreditation as a soil disturbance surveyor. As a standard practice Ministry of Forests requires compliance level surveys to be carried out by accredited surveyors.

How to Design Effective Sediment.&.erosion.Control.Plans.(XSEC.010)

this is a two day course on methods for erosion and sediment control on land disturbances that threaten air or water quality. the first day covers just the basics and may be taken as a stand-alone course. the second emphasizes a systematic approach to designing effective and cost-efficient sediment and erosion control plans. effective installations are illustrated with case studies and product performance test results. Participants will learn how to avoid common installation mistakes. the class will develop a plan in a group exercise. Participants are encouraged to bring their own case study or project and problems for discussion in class.
