Revitalizing the Forest Economy
|
Government is acting to revitalize British Columbia’s number one industry by taking a
fundamentally different approach to forestry regulation.
The plan for opening up a revitalized forest industry is part of the new BC
Heartlands Economic Strategy to create more jobs and spinoff benefits for
communities.
A brighter future for B.C.’s forest economy hinges on legislation and policy
reforms designed to open up new opportunities for British Columbians, get the most
value out of every tree cut, and set a fair price for public forest resources.

Streamlining amendments have already come into effect to ease the regulatory burden
of the Forest Practices Code, while maintaining high environmental standards, and guide
the transition to implementation of the Forest and Range Practices
Act.
