Let’s face it—our forests and communities are in rough shape. Over 55,000 forestry jobs lost. More than 80 sawmills shut down. Floods, fires, and droughts are hitting harder every year.
The current system? It’s working great… for a handful of corporations. Meanwhile, the rest of us are left with the mess.
But there’s a better way. Jennifer Houghton, the Power of Forests Project Manager, recently gave a talk about the New Forest Act, a bold plan crafted with the help of top experts in ecology and forestry legislation. It’s about putting BC’s forests back into the hands of communities—creating local jobs, restoring ecosystems, and ensuring a future we can actually feel good about.
This proposal respects the Indigenous approach of reciprocity with nature—giving back as much as we take and honoring the land that sustains us all.
This isn’t just about saving trees. It’s about saving towns, families, and our future. Together, we can rebuild BC’s forests and create a system that works for people, nature, and generations to come.
