North America: - A land of opportunities

North America is a continent in the northern hemisphere and almost fully in the western hemisphere, bordered on the north by the Arctic Ocean, on the east by the North Atlantic Ocean, on the southeast by the Caribbean Sea, and on the south and west by the North Pacific Ocean. North America is a kaleidoscope of culture which sprawls from the artic to the tropics and has some of the most spectacular scenery in the world.

 Canada - 'A Vast Wilderness'
A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown.

Forests cover over 40 percent of Canada's land surface. They are managed for specific goods and services that the managers responsible for them and that society at large have deemed important. These values are many in number, are diverse in nature, are at times complementary, and at times conflicting.

 U.S.A. - The New World - 'The Land of the Free'
The USA is home to several of the world's most exciting cities, some truly mind-blowing landscapes, a strong sense of regionalism, a trenchant mythology, more history than the country gives itself credit for and, arguably, some of the most approachable natives in the world.

The US was fashioned from an incredibly disparate population who, with little in common apart from a desire to choose their own paths to wealth or heaven, rallied around the ennobling ideals of the Declaration of Independence to forge the richest, most inventive and most powerful country on earth.
