About [Edit]
The BC Coalition for Sustainable Forest Solutions promotes an attainable vision of democratic local control of forests within a context of sustainability and respect for Aboriginal Title and Rights.
Our vision stands in stark contrast to that of the BC provincial government. Since coming into office, the Campbell government has made drastic changes to virtually every aspect of forest law and policy. The Province’s so-called “Forestry Revitalization Plan” is a recipe for increased corporate control of public and indigenous lands at the expense of the long-term well-being of our environment and communities. Some of the immediate results have been increased corporate consolidation, mill closures and community dislocation.
Forest Solutions Current Action Focus
- Documenting and raising awareness about the on-the-ground impacts of the provincial government’s forestry changes on communities and the environment.
- Vote Forest Solutions - Getting the message out to British Columbians that there is an alternative, citizen-driven vision for forestry in BC, and encouraging all candidates and political parties to support forest solutions for sustainable communities.
