We are proud to have tens of thousands of British Columbians working in one of the world’s greenest industries, making products that reduce greenhouse gas intensity while growing our economy.
The future of forestry is top-of-mind as the B.C. Council of Forest Industries meets in Vancouver this week.In the Interior, lumber prices are falling and fibre costs are rising. Diminishing supply of beetle-killed timber and back-to-back wildfire seasons have reduced available fibre for companies, First Nations, workers and communities who depend on our forests for their livelihoods.
