The B.C. Liberal government is ignoring dead forests — a policy that will haunt the Interior economy for decades, Opposition leader Adrian Dix charged Thursday. “We don’t know key questions about the inventory in our own province.
That’s one of the things they learned today at this conference,” Dix told reporters in an interview. The New Democrat, fresh from a poll that places him as B.C.’s most popular leader, was the keynote speaker at a Western Silviculture Contractors’ Association conference in Kamloops. Dix said the province is ignoring forests killed by mountain pine beetle that have either not been replanted or have not regrown naturally. Those areas are known in ministry lingo as not sufficiently restocked.
