Howie is a Research Associate in the Faculty of Forestry at UBC where he examines the human dimensions of natural resources. The focus of Howie’s research is outdoor recreation management and planning, and public participation in natural resources decision-making. Throughout his research, Howie has worked with communities, municipal and provincial governments, and industry to better represent the views and attitudes of the public in policy and operational decisions; working with these same groups, Howie has also helped to raise the profile of outdoor recreation issues and concerns with regard to broader land-use planning initiatives and strategies. Howie has contributed to the development and assessment of criteria and indicators for outdoor recreation in the planning of resource-integrated forested landscape planning in BC for government and the forest industry. Howie also plays an active role in undergraduate and graduate education in the Faculty of Forestry.
