Now as other countries examine their wood pellet supply chains, the facts stay clear – there is no sustainable way to source biomass for export from forests in B.C. and it is NOT a real climate solution. #BCForests

🌲 Forestry is a cornerstone of BC’s economy and identity, supporting ~100,000 jobs and contributing $17B+ to GDP.

As climate change puts forests under pressure, genomics is helping strengthen resilience and protect BC’s trees for generations.

While it’s nice to hear from the public, their uninformed opinions on how and where logging should take place really should not be the basis of BC's forest policy

FORSETH - Ravi, instead of worrying about 'landscape' planning, how about you ensure BC’s sawmills have the timber they need to operate
What ever happened to the professionals deciding on forest cuts and where they should take place

Forests not being replanted to levels required, and a dropping of the annual allowable cut, can ONLY have one completely predictable result ... the inevitable death of BC’s once proud forest industry

ONCE AGAIN the #bcpoli #NDP govt has formed (with the #cdnpoli govt) the latest task force / review to look into BC's rapidly dying forest industry. Seeing them announced over and over again reminds me of the Elvis song "A little less talk, and a lot more action".

The Catch 22 at the heart of BC's efforts to limit wildfire losses
Putting out every fire is a recipe for long-term disaster. But increasingly extreme weather can turn even remote blazes into dangerous infernos.
