In December 1979, the Canadian Forest Advisory Council published a report on forest research in Canada that summarized expenditures on research related to forestry by agency and broad subject matter. This report updates the data in the 1979 report and compares expenditures for 1985/86 with those in 1979/80. The report is the result of a survey of expenditures for research and development related to forests and forest products, although the emphasis is on forestry rather than the products. The report covers expenditures by agencies such as government departments, industry, and universities, and by province; and by subject areas, including environment, production, protection, non-consumptive uses, utilization, forestry services, and economics.
