What Does Forestry Mean to You?
Forestry in British Columbia is playing a crucial role in addressing climate change by both reducing greenhouse gas emissions and capturing carbon naturally. By minimizing the amount of wood that burns or decays, B.C. forestry helps prevent emissions, while also producing sustainable green building materials and renewable energy. Additionally, reforestation efforts, including planting over 200 million trees annually, accelerate carbon absorption. Strict regulations and advanced techniques ensure high survival rates for newly planted trees, reinforcing the industry’s commitment to climate action. Through these efforts, B.C. forestry demonstrates how nature-based solutions can combat global warming effectively.
