Public complaints about forestry summarized in new report
Forest Practices Board
VICTORIA – Nearly 20 years of public concerns and complaints about forestry and range practices on B.C.’s Crown land are summarized in a new report released by the Forest Practices Board today. “Complaints and concerns provide a barometer of public acceptance of forest and range management, identifying trends and issues that the Board will sometimes examine in more detail,” said board chair, Tim Ryan. “They provide a measure of how well B.C.’s forest and range lands are being managed and how much confidence the public has in industry and government practices.” Since 1995, the board has responded to over 1100 concerns and 300 complaints, leading to 181 formal recommendations for improvement to forest and range planning, practices and public consultation.
