BC’s forests are working right now for you. We are making green energy from trees to reduce the use of fossil fuels. We are using wood to construct buildings, instead of concrete or steel which must be mined. We use wood for everyday items (such as furniture and napkins), instead of plastics which come from fossil fuels. We are using more wood left over from harvesting and other treatments, instead letting it rot or burn, in order to make the air we breathe cleaner. We are restoring over-crowded forests to improve wildlife habitat. And these jobs support families, communities, and social services such as health and education. Forestry matters to every person in every corner of this province.

Using forests to grow the bioeconomy and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon society just makes sense socially, economically and environmentally!
