The State of British Columbia’s Forests


Introduction

The State of British Columbia's Forests is a provincial, sustainable forestry report that provides information about B.C.’s forests in three categories: environmental, economic and social, and governance and support. It contains objective, statistical information in each of these areas, along with the ministry’s assessment of what that information tells us about sustainability. The report is produced by the Ministry of Forests and Range, which has a long history of reporting to the public on the condition and management of its forest and range lands. The State of British Columbia's Forests continues this tradition as it monitors, assesses, and reports on the main components of sustainable forest management in British Columbia.

2010 Report

Currently, the ministry is preparing the third edition of The State of British Columbia's Forests. This report is scheduled for release in 2010 and will provide new and updated data and analysis on sustainable forest management indicators. For project updates, please see the information below.
