Stewardship - Forests For Tomorrow
In response to the mountain pine beetle epidemic, the
Province of British Columbia has established the reforestation program
Forests
for Tomorrow. This program is aimed at improving the future timber supply and
addressing risks to other forest values.
Forests for Tomorrow is reforesting areas hardest hit by the mountain pine
beetle and
past wildfires. With a sound scientific foundation and respect for both human
and
environmental values, Forests for Tomorrow is helping to ensure sustainable
forests and forest benefits for future generations.
Forests for Tomorrow is managed by the Ministry of Forests and Range, with
the input of the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Agriculture and
Lands.
The role of the Ministry of Forests and Range is to strategically plan and
develop policy and guidance, prioritize areas for treatment and conduct
analysis, research
and effectiveness evaluations.
