Message from the B.C. Government The Government wants British Columbia to enjoy a vibrant, sustainable, globally competitive forest industry that provides enormous benefits for current and future generations and for strong communities. The Ministry of Forests and Range is focused on four key priorities to help achieve this vision: • • • • Maximizing the value extracted from our forests; Becoming a world leader in growing trees; Expanding international markets for British Columbia wood products, especially into China; and Expanding the use of wood in commercial and institutional construction. We are pleased this action plan, Generating More Value from Our Forests, contributes directly to these themes. This plan reminds us of the fundamental strength that our forest sector has demonstrated for the past 100 years: its tremendous capacity to adapt and transform. The forest industry today looks very different from the industry we remember in our youth. It will continue to change and innovate as we move forward in the 21st Century. Solid wood and pulp will remain key components, but the future also holds the promise of new products and new services – whether they be bioenergy, bio-chemicals, or new high-value building products. This plan for further manufacturing will help promote a vibrant, sustainable, and globally competitive industry for decades to come. Honourable Gordon Campbell Premier of British Columbia Honourable Pat Bell Minister of Forests and Range
