Healthy Forests – Healthy Communities
Healthy Forests-Healthy Communities is a non-partisan, volunteer-supported initiative intended to capture the concerns and recommendations of experts and community members (including practicing forestry and biology professionals, Aboriginals and non-Aboriginals) to enable informed decision-making for forest lands management in British Columbia. Securing background information from experts in the field and creating opportunities for citizen dialogue will result in a vision for BC’s forest lands that can be used by decision-makers, Aboriginals and stakeholders. The public’s future vision of forest lands will help shape policies, regulations and legislation for sustainable forest management in BC.
