You probably won't see Hamish Kimmins, Brad Seely and Clive Welham working their way down the red carpet at the Academy Awards any time soon, but their rendition of a "movie" is turning out to be a growing hit with foresters and other silviculture specialists around the globe.

Seely and Welham are research associates with the Forest Ecosystem Management Simulation Group at UBC. The trio has been developing a new software program called Local Landscape Ecosystem Management Simulator, or LLEMS for short.
