Government is committed to managing our forest resources in a prudent
and sustainable manner. Public participation is an important component
in forestry management and has become a pre-requisite in the development
of all forest management plans in the province. Government remains
committed to its public consultation process and working with all
stakeholders to achieve a balance between protecting our forest’s
ecological integrity and ensuring the future of our forest industries.
The Forestry Act requires the province to update its 20-year
forestry management plan every five years. The Forest
Resources has completed a new Provincial Sustainable
Forestry Management Strategy document, which is being released for a
60-day public consultation process. The general public are
encouraged to review the draft Strategy and its summary document.
The Department welcomes views and comments from all interested
stakeholders and the general public, which will be considered before
the Strategy is finalized.
