A 2021 UBCM Convention workshop will provide delegates with an opportunity to learn more about the Province’s forest policy intentions and to provide feedback. This session will address policy changes related to area-based tenures; the move toward shared decision-making with indigenous communities; and old growth as well as other policy matters identified in the Province’s Modernizing Forest Policy Intentions Paper.
