The impact of timber supply adjustments on local communities is an important consideration in the timber supply review. The economy in the Quesnel area is heavily dependant on the timber industry, making potential employment reductions in this sector a serious concern for area residents. Local communities recognize the importance of the timber industry in their economy, and have expressed their concern about possible changes in timber supply resulting from this review and other government initiatives, such as the Forest Practices Code and the Land Use Plan.
