TLA’s Statement on Provincial Forestry Advisory Council’s Report: From Conflict to Care: BC’s Forest Future 

The TLA appreciates and respects the thoughtful report released today by the Provincial Forestry Advisory Council. We welcome its focus on a cross-ministry approach, First Nations reconciliation and co-governance, stability and predictability for industry and investors, and community empowerment; priorities the TLA has long advocated on behalf of its members and the forest sector.

The TLA supports the overall direction of the report and its recommendations, including the shift from volume- to area-based management, adopting regional forest management areas, increased community engagement, First Nations co-management, and improved focus and alignment across the sector.

We look forward to reviewing the recommendations in greater detail, particularly in terms of how they align with the current crisis facing the forest industry, address high operating costs, and support the urgent need for access to fibre.
