Swan Lake Forest Research Reserve was established in 1950 to study the ecology & silviculture of commercially important hardwood species of south central Ontario. It covers 3,480 hectares in the south-west corner of Algonquin Provincial Park. This management plan supersedes the previous (1983) planning document for the Reserve and details plans for management of the Reserve for the next 20 years. The introduction explains the value, benefits, & objectives of the Reserve. This is followed by a description of the Reserve site, a history of the Reserve, and review of research & extension programs both current & planned. Part 6 describes Reserve infrastructure (roads, buildings) and planned activities related to maintenance & upgrading. Part 7 contains guidelines to facilitate communication between the Reserve and Park management. Finally, excerpts are presented from two important documents that regulate activities in the Reserve: the Algonquin Provincial Park Management Plan and the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Parks & Conservation Reserves.

Little information is available on the labour force in the forest management services industry, with the exception of two 1987 studies from B.C. This report augments this information with data gathered in eastern Ontario in a joint 1989 study by Forestry Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. Silviculture workers were surveyed in forest renewal, site preparation, stand tending, and nursery activities areas. The survey covered personal, social, economic and occupational areas, and was conducted through interviews with the workers.
