Northern Forest (E): The State Foresters' Views Case Solution
This case describes the functions and views of state foresters of the four Northern Forest states- New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. They are the top state government officials in charge of the associated ecosystems, forested lands, and the woods endeavors' industry. The Northern Forest (A)-(E) case series focuses pupils on the boom and failure conducts in the Northern Forest sawmills industry. Stakeholders from landowners to sawmill owners to environmentalists all wanted to make sure that the entire demand for sawed logs to government officials, as driven by sawmill capability, didn't surpass the rate at which the trees were growing.
They did not require sawmill demand to "overshoot" the productive capacity of the forest resource, a classic issue in renewable resource economies that the region had experienced about a century earlier. Students are called upon to use systems thinking skills (evaluation of reference modes of behaviors, causal loop mapping and stock flow mapping) in creating their causal hypotheses of the underlying systems construction. Students are asked to design system arrangement policies to help prolong both the business and the natural resources of the area.
