Generating More Value from Our Forests - Ministry of Forests

22
Of benefit to all British Columbians, new innovations
will increase the economic yield from
public forests,
generate more jobs and better sustain communities while
maintaining sustainable forest practices. It can stimulate
next-generation equipment production, further diversifying
the economic base and employment opportunities for
knowledge-based workers.
The government has responded with this vision and this initial
set of targeted actions. In the next few months, it will seek
broader participation from stakeholders to refine the
opportunities and the action plan, and begin implementing
specific initiatives.
Achieving the vision is not expected to be simple, quick or
easy. There will be unknowns; there will be growing pains. But
if everyone works together in pursuit of this vision -
government, workers, First Nations, communities, and
industry - British Columbia’s forest sector will achieve new
heights.
