The vast temperate rainforests of coastal British Columbia are world renowned, but much less is known about the other rainforest located 500 kilometres inland along the western slopes of the interior mountains. The unique integration of continentality and humidity in this region favours the development of lush rainforest communities that incorporate both coastal and boreal elements. In British Columbia's Inland Rainforest, scientists bring together, for the first time, a broad spectrum of information about this distinctive ecosystem. They also consider the ecological consequences of human activities in the rainforest and present strategies for its management and conservation.

Chapters of the guidebook cover the regulations regarding spacing, the maximum density required by the silviculture prescription, biological criteria and operational considerations for including spacing in stand management prescriptions, fire protection, maintenance of stand-level biodiversity, considerations for post-treatment densities, manual and mechanized methods of spacing, selection of crop trees, monitoring, and reporting. The appendices include stand selection guidelines for use in stand management prescriptions.
