Managed Sustainable Forests

B.C. forests: a proven commitment to sustainability B.C. forests are managed to be sustainable and to conserve all forest values. Forest companies reforest public lands with native species suited to local conditions. The province planted its five billionth tree in 2002. Canadian provinces set conditions in law for companies logging public forests. Forest companies operating in B.C. often exceed provincial standards. |

B.C.’s public lands: a huge, undisturbed forest area One third of one per cent of B.C.’s 60 million hectares (149 million acres) of total forestland is logged annually. More than half of B.C.’s total forest area will likely never be logged. Close to two-thirds of its 25 million hectares (62 million acres) of old-growth forests will likely never be logged. |
