The Government of British Columbia is committed to restoring the economic prosperity of the province and its communities. In its New Era document, the government made a commitment to:

Establish a working forest land base, to provide greater stability for working families and to enhance long-term forestry management and planning.

The Working Forest initiative is intended to address land-base certainty as one means of assuring a strong and sustainable economy. The Working Forest land base will continue to meet a diversified range of economic, environmental and social needs.

Government staff have prepared a Working Forest discussion paper and are inviting public and stakeholder comments on the proposed initiative until March 14, 2003. Click here to access the Working Forest discussion paper.
