Letter from Ray Travers, RPF
At October’s 2016 Spruce Summit, retired UNBC professor Staffan Lindgren asserted B.C. forest management must change if we want to end bug outbreaks sooner. Forestry’s fundamental purpose is to secure greatest continued value from forest land. …The serious consequences were confirmed in June’s Ministry report to Prince George City Council which “…forecast the annual allowable cut for the Prince George timber supply area diving from the current 12.5 million cubic metres available since 2011 to an expected 6.2 million cubic metres in 2020.” This is bad news. The good news is there are forest sustainability policies with positive track records delivering better forest management.
