Deep Dive Discussion #35
The Power of Forests
Jennifer Houghton, Project Manager
Thurs, Nov 21 7PM ONLINE
Communities and their watersheds are at increased risk of floods, droughts and wildfires due to climate change and current forestry practices.
The Power of Forests project is bringing together grassroots organizations, concerned BC residents, Indigenous Peoples, and scientists to call for a new BC Forest Act. A Boundary Forest Watershed Stewardship Society initiative.
Join FTFO and Jennifer Houghton, Project Manager for the Power of Forests project, as she shares the drive for forest management to prioritize ecosystems and local communities rather than corporate profits. The proposed new Act is intended to ensure that forest management on public lands focuses on the interests of communities and nature rather than on extraction interests.
Under this new legislation, the primary objective of forest management will be to maintain the ecological integrity of forest ecosystems. There is also an economic component to the proposal in order to facilitate the development of stable, diverse, ecologically-sustainable community-based economies. Please share with your friends and contacts.
