Province to see increased reforestation and jobs, minister tells conference

The province’s investment in a human resource strategy for B.C.’s silviculture industry is evidence that more trees will be replanted over the next five years, said Jobs, Tourism and Innovation Minister Pat Bell.


The B.C. Liberal government will invest 0,000 over three years to enable the industry to attract and retain workers. Bell made the announcement during at the Western Silviculture Contractors’ Association conference in Kamloops Thursday. “One of the biggest challenges for the silviculture industry is recruiting and retaining quality employees,” Bell told reporters. “There’s no question the industry will ramp up and we need quality individuals.” Feb 02, 2012 Kamloops Daily News Read More
