Objective(s): To identify the importance of women's participation in all types of forest-use activities (ie., subsistence, wage-labour, recreation, etc.) and how participation contributes to the community. The purpose of the study is to analyze the effects of forest development on the entire community, and focus on the effects that forest development may have on the roles of women; to identify possible impacts, both positive and negative, that continued forest development may have on the social, economic, political and cultural workings of the community; and to indicate the importance of both women's and men's roles in informing sustainable management of the forest, and provide the community with information for use in integrated resource management and/or community planning.
Project Description: Data will be collected in the form of formal and informal interviews, and participant-observations. The sampling size for Wrigley will be close to full census of adults (age 15 years or over) population (110 people). The sampling size in Fort Providence will be a selected sample based on key informants' knowledge of local participation in subsistence, forestry and community activities, and random sample of remaining adult population ( approximately 200 people).
